About this map

The settlement of Paulina serves as the hub of this Central Oregon landscape, situated where the Paulina Suplee HWY meets the waters of Beaver Creek. This 2011 survey captures a ranching community defined by family-named landholdings such as Minifie Ranch, Ferian Ranch, and Congleton Ranch, which are spread across the Paulina Valley. The Paulina Post Office remains a central landmark for this rural area, providing a clear reference point for genealogists tracing local families.

Water management is a dominant theme of the terrain, visible through a network of small reservoirs and named springs. Notable water features like Geodetic Reservoir, Roundtree Lake, and Ritch-Fayne Reservoir dot the landscape, which is otherwise framed by prominent geographic markers including Sheepshooter Ridge, Moccasin Ridge, and the Henry Rim. The map also details local transit corridors such as Se Paulina Valley RD and Se Congleton RD, illustrating how the valley's settlement pattern follows the drainage of Paulina Creek and its seasonal tributaries.
