Cottonwoods and Russian Olives comprise most of the forest, although other species are also present. Sagebrush, rabbitbrush, and various grasses cover most of the property, while tamarisk is close to the creek. The northwest corner of the parcel has several corrals and is well-set up to provide the resources and access for a full-fledged livestock operation or farm, as the entire 53 acres to the east of the road are entirely fences with three access gates.The land is currently used for grazing, and approximately 25 cow-calf pairs occupy the property.
