There is a good rocked road system from Altoona-Pillar Rock Road, with several landings providing spectacular potential view home or cabin sites toward Astoria, or east to Skamokawa and Cathlamet. Based on existing Wahkiakum land use regulations, the tract could be divided into multiple home sites. There is power along Altoona-Pilar Rock Road.
There are 77 MBF of 41 year old Douglas-fir, red alder and other hardwoods located on 4 acres in the
southwest section. A timber fund managed by Hancock Timber Resource is the adjacent owner to the north. Multiple private owners are to the west and east.
