About this map

The settlement of Paulina sits at the southern edge of this Crook County landscape, serving as a hub for the surrounding ranching and high-desert country. Located at the intersection of Paulina Suplee Rd and Paulina Valley Rd, the community is anchored by the local Po and the winding course of Beaver Creek. The terrain is defined by a complex system of ridges and high plateaus, including the prominent Moccasin Ridge, Claypool Ridge, and the distinct Henry Rim.

Water management is a central theme of this arid region, evidenced by numerous named catchments such as Mills Reservoir, Ritch-Fayne Reservoir, and Geodetic Reservoir. These water sources, along with Roundtree Lake and Dry Paulina Creek, support the livestock operations that utilize wide expanses like Coggins Flat and the sheltered Paulina Valley. The map details a network of rural routes, from SE Durgan Ranch Rd to SE Sartain Rd, that connect isolated buttes and hollows across the high-elevation basin.
