2020 Map of Paulina

About this map

Paulina serves as the focal point for this high-desert landscape in eastern Crook County, situated where Beaver Creek and the Paulina Suplee Rd meet. The township is characterized by a network of seasonal watercourses and reservoirs, including Geodetic Reservoir and Ritch-Fayne Reservoir, which support the ranching operations throughout the Paulina Valley. The northern reaches of the map transition into the Ochoco National Forest, defined by significant elevations such as Big Rattlesnake Butte and Ruby Butte. The terrain is marked by distinct geological features with descriptive names like Hewed Log Hollow, Moccasin Ridge, and Birdsong Butte, suggesting a history of local land use and naming traditions. South of the main settlement, the land rises toward Remington Ridge and Henry Rim, while the eastern portion contains the expansive Mills Reservoir and the drainage of N Wolf Cr.
