Red Butte and Rufino Butte anchor this high-desert landscape in Malheur County, defining a region characterized by intricate drainage systems and essential water management. The terrain is deeply carved by watercourses including Alder Creek, Little Cottonwood Creek, and Skull Creek, which feed into numerous small-scale reservoirs such as McKay Reservoir and Windy Reservoir. These man-made features, alongside named springs like Rush Spring and Palmer Spring, underscore the historical necessity of water security in Oregon's eastern ranching country.
