The Malheur National Wildlife Refuge dominates this section of the high desert, protecting a vital riparian corridor in the Blitzen Valley. The Donner und Blitzen River winds through the western edge of the map, its natural flow augmented by the straight line of the Busse Canal. This area is characterized by the intersection of water management and volcanic geology, where the marshlands of the refuge meet the stark formations of the Diamond Craters to the southeast.
