The whole block is rough and hilly. On the slopes and summits of 
all the ridges the sandstone is much in evidence. 
On the longleaf pine land the greater part of the stand is pure long- 
leaf. Hardwood undergrowth, except on the northern and western 
exposures, occurs only scatteringly, or is lacking entirely. The 
proportional area where the loblolly and shortleaf pine are at all 
prominent in the mixture is small. 
No saw timber has been or is being cut, but in the northeastern part 
of the block, on some of the small private holdings, the longleaf pine 
is being hewed into ties. On many of the summits the timber is apt 
to be short and stunted. 
The average number of longleaf pine trees per acre for the whole 
block is larger than for any other part of the tract, and in consequence 
the yield in feet board measure is higher. The individual trees, how- 
ever, do not attain such a fine development as in the western part of 
Block IL. : 
Table XXIV gives the average stand per acre of the three pines on 
longleaf pine land and of the three pines and the more important 
hardwoods on creek land.
