Imperial Valley is defined by its seasonal hydrology and volcanic landforms, as seen in this 2017 survey of Deschutes County. The landscape is punctuated by numerous ephemeral basins and water sources, including Rim Waterhole, Meeks Waterhole, and Ram Lake Waterhole, which traditionally served as critical points for livestock and wildlife. These features, along with Skull Lake and Grassy Lake, illustrate the drainage patterns of this high-desert environment where water is often a localized and transient resource.
