The drumlin rises about 40 ft above our hunting game plain. Opposite S end of east at 5 miles (justic) is southernmost summit east edge of wide wing. From the drumlin a line home area stretches N along W side of jake through the woods for several distance yards terminating at N end 20 ft above scene plain with west west wind.
