Austin

Few communities in eastern Oregon have a history as closely tied to the Dalles Military Road as Austin. This unincorporated Grant County settlement sits in the Blue Mountains, in the headwaters country of the Middle Fork John Day River, on U.S. Route 26. The 19th-century road linked The Dalles with Fort Boise, and Austin grew around a station serving travellers on that demanding overland route. Its setting still reflects the scale of Oregon’s interior, with forest roads, high country and long distances between towns.
