A Satellite View Of The Idaho Landscape => Showing Green Mountains At Right, Shading To Slight Greenish, Baked, Dry, Nearly Lifeless Desert, Which Are West & North of =>
…. The Brownlee Campground, At Red Pinpoint Shown At Lower Right Corner.
……Where Chris Says => ”I Like It Here.”
…….. And, In the Quiet Evening, Chris and the Narrator ” Can Hear A Small Stream Nearby.”

…If your look closely, the Satellite View shows some of the exact landscape features reported in the first part of the following ZMM Passage =>
“ …. a little sign saying "Brownlee Campground," which appears to be in a draw of the mountains. In the dark it’s hard to tell what sort of country we’re in. We follow a dirt road under trees and past underbrush to some camper’s pull-ins. No one else seems to be here. When I shut the motor off and we unpack I can hear a small stream nearby. Except for that and the chirping of some little bird there’s no sound.
"I like it here," Chris says.
"It’s very quiet," I say.
"Where will we be going tomorrow?"
"Into Oregon." I give him the flashlight and have him shine it where I’m unpacking.
"Have I been there before?"
"Maybe, I’m not sure."
I spread out the sleeping bags, and put his on top of the picnic table. The novelty of this appeals to him. This night there’ll be no trouble sleeping. Soon I hear deep breathing that tells me he’s already asleep.
I wish I knew what to say to him. Or what to ask. He seems so close at times, and yet the closeness has nothing to do with what is asked or said. Then at other times he seems very far away ... “ ] (Cont. next).

FIRST Click On Photo To Get Largest View, Then Please Notice In The /\ Above /\ Satellite View Photo:
…A) The dramatic effect of Landscape Elevation =>
…..1) The higher elevation Mountainous Regions (Right side of photo) are cool enough to have more rain, making somewhat green from Grass, and in various rain run-off-channels, hold moisture for trees. (This includes The Brownlee Campground, at Lower Right.)
…..2) The lower elevation Mountainous Regions (Left side of photo) are a whole lot lower and thus hotter, and thus lifeless-barren tan color: This is because any rain quickly runs to the gullies & temporary streams, making them green, but leaving the hillsides & tops, extreme dry & lifeless.
…B) In addition => Take time to study the Green Tree-lined Stream Valleys, mostly running from The Green Mountains (at the right), flowing West toward the Snake River & The Brownlee Dam Reservoir. These green lines of life nicely fit The Rubàiyat Quatrain. =>

…. “With me along the strip of Herbage strown
….That just divides the desert from the sown, .. “

..****************..
….The Next Four Photos show a treeless, extremely baked dry landscape, region of Idaho. In such areas, it is a surprise to see a running stream here at The Brownlee Campground.
….Ditto for the Subsequent 11 Photos, which are in Eastern Oregon, which also shows running water!
