Located in North Dakota's Northern Coteau region, Unit 2K1 is known for its numerous coulees and pothole ponds, making it a prime nesting area for waterfowl. The northern part of the unit includes drainages and coulees that are fed by the Souris River. While the river itself lies in a different deer unit, its influence extends into Unit 2K1. The terrain varies significantly across the unit, with steep ridges and the Prophets Mountains adding elevation changes. Securing landowner permission to hunt the coulees along the Souris River could provide one of the best opportunities for harvesting a mature whitetail buck in this area.
