The Bastian Ranch CWMU is west and north of Causey Reservoir. Beaver Creek and State Highway 39 forms the west boundary and Elk Ridge forms the east boundary. The Unit consists of a main ridge which is about 8000 feet in the north dropping to 6700 feet in the south before it drops into Water Hollow. From this main ridge the Unit drops into Beaver Creek (5600 feet to 6600 feet). On the eastside the unit drops in to Dry Bread Hollow (6000 feet to 7200 feet) before rising up to Elk Ridge (7600 feet to 7900 feet). The most common elevation is 6800 feet but ranges from 5500 feet to 7900 feet with an elevation difference of 2400 feet. Fifty-four percent (54%) of the CWMU elevation ranges between 6000 feet and 7300 feet an elevation difference of 1300 feet.
