It varies of course but in general the landscape is rolling with mostly small(10 acres or less)fields amid the woods.
White pine,various Maples and Oaks,Cherry,Beech and White Birch are probably the most common trees.Most of the Elms have died,Dutch Elm disease I think.

That must be all over. My ex sis in law had a beautiful elm in her yard and it died of that. You never see them anymore. I wonder if it's one of those diseases brought over on ships. I understand before 1849 or so, corn never had the corn worms we have. I used to always have a garden and had to spray like the dickens to keep them away. I hated spraying so many pesticides and still ended up getting them to some degree. Didn't bother me too much, I think spraying the pesticides bothered me more but if I didn't, there would be no corn.
