About this map

Corfu lies at the heart of this landscape, situated where the northern flats give way to the rising elevations of the Saddle Mountains. The map illustrates a complex water management system essential to the region, featuring the Wahluke Branch Canal, Crab Creek Wasteway, and White Bluffs Wasteway. These man-made channels intersect with natural drainage like Lower Crab Creek, reflecting the intersection of industrial irrigation and environmental conservation.

Conservation efforts dominate the area, with large tracts of land dedicated to the Columbia National Wildlife Refuge and the Saddle Mountain National Wildlife Refuge. To the south, the Wahluke Slope descends toward the Hanford Reach National Monument, showcasing the transition from high-desert ridge lines to the protected lands along the river corridor. A network of rural routes, such as Crab Creek Rd, provides the primary access through this sparsely settled territory.
