That would seriously complicate humanoid expansion from the eastern part of the continent to the western area. If you like the idea of hydrocarbon-based hazards, Out In The Middle of Nowhere is also a good place for any obvious coal or petroleum deposits, since they'd be massively exploited if they were any closer to civilization.
Or... Okovango Delta? After all, int's in drylands. Making it endorheic allows for non-diluted acidic areas. And it covers from 2300 to 5800 sq miles every year, so it could be pretty big. A question for the geometers- how many sq miles is a 25 mile hex? If it were a circle it'd be about 490 sq miles, so covering about a dozen hexes, with one (acidic) spot that's only 1 hex wide to make it "crossable in 1 day"?
