This unit is located on the western edge of the state, adjacent to the Wyoming border. The landscape features classic prairie terrain with rolling grass hills, coulees, and ample opportunities for spotting game. A significant portion of the area consists of developed agricultural land, primarily in the southern and eastern sections, while the western half remains largely undeveloped. Numerous creek beds and drainages traverse the landscape, creating terrain breaks that are ideal for spot-and-stalk hunting. This unit has also yielded record-book entries from Box Butte, Morrill, and Sioux counties.
