This property lies within a distinctive landscape feature unique to this portion of Mille Lacs County. A glacial landform known as a gravel esker, or "hogsback," traverses the southern half of the property in a northeast-to-southwest direction. These gravel deposits create a striking topographic feature that supports an impressive stand of mature white pine, large oak trees, and a diverse variety of native trees and shrubs.
The combination of unique geology and established vegetation makes this an exceptional and visually appealing natural setting.
