Surface water is abundant, with eight earthen stock tanks located throughout the property and a large branch of Meyers Creek traversing the ranch from north to south on the western portion. Sandy to sandy loam soils dominate the property, while attractive sandstone outcrops accent the central and southern portions of the ranch. Four cultivated fields near the eastern entrance measure approximately 9, 11, 15.5, and 23.5 acres. Although they have not been planted in recent years, they could easily be returned to cultivation if desired. Currently, they provide additional native grass forage for cattle.
