Like many of the nearby units, Unit 2G1 is primarily composed of cultivated cropland, offering abundant food sources for the whitetail population. However, this unit stands out for having more public land than most surrounding areas, and much of it is not farmed. Instead, it consists of gentle grasslands that are easy to navigate. The unit also features both the Sheyenne and James Rivers, which create the river-bottom habitat that whitetails favor. Hunters using tree stands could find success in this area, which is mostly flat or gently rolling, with some terrain breaks along the rivers.
