The excellent access to this recently resurveyed 64.506 acres of planted pine and native mixed species forest has enhanced the production of forest products as well as the recreational hunting. Located in the rolling woodlands of eastern Cass County, this tract has about 1,350 feet of state Highway 43 frontage on its eastern boundary, being about 13 miles east of Linden and the same south of Atlanta.
The tract is forested with a loblolly pine plantation and native pine and hardwood forest. There is a nice mix of upland and a small creek bottom, with a pleasing topographical diversity. The soils are sands and loams, having demonstrated to be excellent for growing timber, while the uplands have historically shown good wet-weather harvesting qualities.
A small stream, Corey Branch, runs from west to east along the southern end of the tract. A small beaver pond near the southwestern corner adds to the wildlife habitat of this land.
A professional forestry firm has managed this tract since 1983, with a third selective thinning harvest on the plantation being done in 2015. There is a good stand of pine remaining in the upland plantation, with the riparian areas not having been thinned in many years. A breakdown of the approximate acres of various forest cover types on this tract is as follows:
Pine Plantation 34.3 acres
Native Riparian Hardwood and Pine 24.6 acres
Bottomland Marsh 4.8 acres
Powerline Right-of-Way is about three-quarters of an acre
The Bowie-Cass Electric Cooperative powerline is located in the eastern side of the tract, parallel to the highway. The property lines have been kept maintained with a blue painted line and posted signs.
