- Desert Wildlife Area Unit (wdfw.wa.gov)
The Desert Unit was wholly desert prior to the Columbia Basin Irrigation Project. It is the lowest part of the very large Quincy Basin that once was filled with glacial floodwater. The natural basin now serves as a collector for irrigation water from upslope farmlands. Most of this water is collected in the Winchester and Frenchman Hills wasteways, which meander southeasterly across several miles of the Desert Unit and eventually empty into the southwestern part of Potholes Reservoir.
- Windward Islands (Wikipedia)
The Windward Islands are a group of islands in the Lesser Antilles of the West Indies in the Caribbean region of the Americas, situated where the southeastern Caribbean Sea meets the western North Atlantic Ocean. Located approximately between latitudes 10° and 16° N and longitudes 60° and 62° W, they extend from Dominica in the north to Trinidad and Tobago in the south. They lie south of the Leeward Islands, northern islands from the Virgin Islands to Guadeloupe, and east of the Leeward Antilles, southwestern islands from the Federal Dependencies of Venezuela to Aruba.
