The area is flat, and is composed of open savannah with a few areas of longleaf pine.  There are a few wetter sites with hardwood shrubs, which appear as oases dotting the savannah.  Several irregular-shaped, shallow depressions are scattered throughout the area, representing the undulations of the former Pleistocene sea bottom.

A dense cover of grasses and sedges interspersed with a surprising array of well over 100 species of wild flowers including many orchids and insectivorous plants is a distinguishing feature of this cover type.  The savannahs themselves are not considered to be a major plant community, but rather an unusual combination of vegetation within a plant community, the longleaf/slash pine ecosystem.  Wildlife common to the area include white-tailed deer, raccoon, fox, black bear, hawks, numerous songbirds, and the endangered Red-cockaded woodpecker.

A Forest Service Development road exists within the area, as well as a few old roads that are slowly becoming overgrown.  While there are limited opportunities for hiking, camping, backpacking or hunting, the area offers excellent opportunities for nature study, birdwatching, photography, outdoor education, and horse riding.  The area was listed on the Roadless Inventory during the RARE II process in the 1970s.
