Soils on the property contain a lot of sand and gravel useful for future road maintenance and construction.
Water features abound on this tract. The Middle Branch of the Union River courses through the property for approximately 3.7 miles. The wilderness waterbody of Lower Middle Branch Pond forms about 9,500 +/- feet of the northern boundary of the parcel. A wild trout stream known as Seven Mile Brook runs for 2 miles through the land until it enters the Union River. On the shore of the pond are two cabins, one log constructed the other stick built construction.
