A view from the north side of Harney Lake on Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon shows the stark alkali saltgrass landscape seen by Stephen Meek’s 1845 wagon train. The pioneers’ hardships inspired the 2011 film “Meek’s Cutoff,” which includes scenes of the high desert refuge. The refuge protects habitat for migratory birds and wildlife.
