Longhorn Valley
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Longhorn Valley was a geographical location in the Highland Mountains of the planet Reach.
Geography
It was a sloped region ten kilometers across, and contained a thick forest of Douglas firs, trampled fields, and the Big Horn River in the middle of it.
Role
During the Battle of Reach, the valley was occupied by the Covenant, who built large defensive encampments in preparation of excavating the Forerunner complex beneath Menachite Mountain.[1] It was scorched with atomic fire after a team of Spartan-IIs destroyed a nearby Covenant Cruiser with a Fury Tactical Nuclear Weapon, and is presumed to have ultimately been glassed.
