Prominent perennial streams within this wilderness area are Workman Creek and Salome Creek.[1] The region has a diverse flora and fauna. Within this part of the Sierra Ancha Range, there are notable disjunctive populations of Coastal woodfern, Dryopteris arguta;[2] this fern is otherwise common in areas nearer the Pacific coast.
