The highway and L/Z are both very visible from the air.  The white arrow indicates the beginning of the L/Z for standard wind directions.  The red arrow approximates the end of the desirable landing space, the top of the knoll.  If you over shoot the knoll, there is a small amount of space (20 to 30 yards) on the down hill side for landing; however, there are obstacles that you cant see from a low approach, and you will want to be on the ground before you find the power lines.
