The North Platte River winds through the northern portion of this landscape, carving a wide valley that includes Alkali Gulch and the curiously named Infant Geyser. The small settlement of Orpha sits near the river's bend, serving as a hub for the surrounding ranchlands. The area's aviation history and remote ranching operations are evidenced by the presence of Underwood Airport and the Chamberlain Brothers Ranch Airport, illustrating how vital air access is to this part of Converse County.
