Paulina

The landscape around Paulina is a high-desert valley of sagebrush rangeland and juniper, which has shaped both the settlement pattern and the local ranching economy. The community lies along Paulina Creek in Crook County, where working lands meet the forested country of central Oregon’s interior. Cattle ranching and hay production remain central to the area’s identity, while the small settlement serves the surrounding rural district. Paulina takes its name from a Northern Paiute leader active during the conflicts of the 1860s, a reminder of the region’s contested frontier history.
