The property resides at the foothills of the mountains to the north and east that locally rise to just over 3000 ft. Elevations across the property average approximately 1575 ft, ranging from roughly 1450 to 1750 ft. The property has wide range of slopes from flat over many sections in the central and southwest sections to over 60% slopes the upland zones. As a result of the undulating landscape, the property has a full range of aspects (slope exposure).

Block I has an average elevation of 1625 ft and range of 30 ft across its ~14 acre extent (1610-1640 ft). The slopes are relatively gradual, averaging ~4% with some flat zones and some zones up to ~11%. Block I has an average aspect of 155° or SSE, but with the flatter areas having no dominant exposure direction.

Block II has an average elevation of 1575 ft, but ranges 125 ft over its ~10 acre extent (1525-1650 ft). Due to the greater relief, Block II is steeper than Block I, averaging ~17% with an estimated range of 6-28% depending on the exact block limits. Block II has an average aspect of 225° or SSW, ranging from 170° to 270° (S to W).

Agate-Winlo soil complex is the predominant soil type in the 25 acres of Block I and Block II:

The Agate series consists of moderately deep to a duripan, well drained soils that formed in stratified alluvium. Agate soils are the mound area of patterned ground on fan terraces and have slopes of 0 to 15 percent.

- Light olive brown in color. Dry, indurated, nearly continuous cemented silica laminae on surface and on vertical surfaces. 40-55% gravel; 10-20% cobbles. Neutral 6.6pH.

The Winlo series consist of shallow to pan somewhat poorly drained soils that formed in alluvium. They are on fan terraces and have slopes of 0 to 3 percent. They are the intermound soil on a pattern ground landscape.

- Light olive brown in color. Extremely gravelly coarse sandy loam; dry, slightly hard, very friable, nonsticky and nonplastic; 40-55% gravel; 10-20% cobbles. Neutral 6.6pH.
