The northern portion of the block can be reached from Raetihi, which is six miles distant by about two miles of dray-road and the remainder pack-track. This pack-track, which was constructed some years ago, is continued through the block along the Mangawhero River and joins Field’s Track south of the block.

The access to the eastern portion of block is from Karioi, which is from seven to fifteen miles distant, six miles by partly formed road, the remaining distances to the different sections by surveyed roads only.

The sections, generally speaking, comprise hilly and undulating bush lands. Sections 1, 2, 4, Block VII.; 3, 4, Block VIII.; 1, 2, Block XI.; 1, Block XII., Tauakira; 3, 4, Block V.; 1, Block IX., Ngamatea, are of a rough and broken character. The last three sections, together with Sections 1 and 2, Block V., Ngamatea, which are easy-sloping, and Sections 1, 2, 3, Block XIV., Makotuku, which are hilly, have flats along banks of Mangawhero River. There are open flats and swamps on Sections 6 and 7, Block IX., Karioi.

Sections 2, 6, 7, 11, 12, Block XV., Makotuku, are generally flat, with small clearings on Sections 6, 7, and 12.

The soil of Ohotu Block generally is from fair to good quality, resting on papa formation. The forest comprises for the most part rimu, rata, tawa, miro, maire, with light undergrowth of karamu, rangiora, kotukutuku, &c.

All the sections, with the exception of Sections 2, 6, 8, Block XV., Makotuku, are well watered.

The elevation of the block ranges from about 300ft. to 2,000 ft. above sea-level.

Improvements have been effected on the undermentioned sections, as follows: Section 3, Block XIV., Makotuku, 50 acres felled; Section 7, Block XV., Makotuku, whare; Section 12, Block XV., Makotuku, three whares; Section 13, Block XV., Makotuku, two whares, and 80 acres felled.
