Block IV comprises sections 35 and 36 of T. 24 N., R.17 E., and 
sections 1, 2, 3, and 10 of T. 23 N., R. 17 E. Its area is divided into:

With the exception of one low ridge, which begins in the center of 
section | and extends in a northeast direction across the southeast cor- 
ner of section 36, the land is only moderately rolling, in places almost 
level. The soil everywhere is deep, and there is no outcrop of rock 
except in the beds of the creeks. This and the exceptionally broad 
bottomlands along the Finnegotchkee accounts for the large propor- 
tion of cleared land. 
Although in the eastern part of the block, especially in section 36, 
considerable cutting has been done, the stand on the longleaf pine land 
is still fairly good. The proportion of loblolly pine in the mixture, 
especially of trees under 10 inches diameter breasthigh, is noticeably 
large. On the creek land the stand of loblolly pine of all diameter 
classes, and the yield in board feet is much greater than on any of 
the preceding blocks. 
Table IX gives the average stand per acre of the three pines on 
longleaf pine land, and of the three pines and the more important hard- 
woods on the creek land. The average yield per acre of each pine 
on each type is given in Tables XII and XIII.
