Oh, well it depends on what you mean by "area". There's a fair size
hunting
area that's wooded nearby. If you drive down Route 165, it's far, far
more
open. It's mostly farmland, so make that, oh, 10% to 15%. Of course, a
lot of
this area is land with a REALLY high water table. A lot of it is
undeveloped
because of that. So, you have large lots with a levy around it, because
it
once filled with water (and has now had drainage systems added). You get
a big
berm around a square area, a natural laager/artillery park. 

I'm reading Stephen Sears book about Chancellorsville right now. 75%
wooded
for most of that area is probably _understating_ the woods. Mind you,
that was
139 years ago. Still, it could easily work for a science fiction
scenario.
