General: The ranch has about mile of blacktop frontage on HWY 44, and over a mile of county road frontage to the south.

The topography of this unique tract has a gently roll with elevation ranging from 350' in the creek bottoms to around 405' on the southern part of the ranch where the improvements are located.
