Center Creek is another drainage that cuts the Unit. It ranges from 6400 feet to 8600 feet.

Fifty-three percent (53%) of the CWMU elevation ranges between 7000 feet and 8700 feet an elevation difference of 1700 feet.

The Three C Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) is somewhat divided in half. On the west half the land cover is dominated by Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe (62) and Rocky Mountain Gambel Oak-Mixed Montane Shrubland (41). Whereas, the east half is dominated by Rocky Mountain Aspen Forest and Woodland (22). Rocky Mountain Bigtooth Maple Ravine Woodland (23), Rocky Mountain Subalpine Mesic Spruce-Fir Forest and Woodland (28), and Colorado Plateau Pinyon-Juniper Woodland (36) add to the Forest and Woodland character of the Unit. Rocky Mountain Subalpine-Montane Riparian Shrubland (77) and Inter-Mountain Basins Big Sagebrush Shrubland support the Shrubland character.
