over the area in even-aged groups and separated from one another by 
blank spaces of varying sizes. 
On the creek land, as Table VI shows, the number of pines left after 
the logging will be insignificant. They will be scattered singly or in 
small groups among the slash and the hardwood trees.

Except for the small but steep hills in section 9, and for the York 
and Reedy mountains in sections 31 and 32, the topography is rolling. 
On the longleaf pine land the stand is pure longleaf, except on the 
steep northerly and westerly exposures in the northern part of the 
block, where it is mixed with some shortleaf and loblolly pine, mostly 
of sapling size, and hardwoods, and on the upper slopes of the York 
and Reedy mountains, where an occasional shortleaf of good mer- 
chantable size and quality is to be found. 
Table VII shows 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. The average yield in board feet per acre 
of each species of pine on each type is given in Tables XII and XIII.
