Tumalo

The terrain around Tumalo is a dry high-desert plain on Oregon’s eastern side of the Cascade Range, which has shaped both settlement patterns and an economy dependent on irrigation. This small Deschutes County community lies near Tumalo Creek and the Deschutes River, where water supports pasture and farmland amid sagebrush country. Tumalo was formerly known as Laidlaw, a name that remains part of the area’s local historical record. Bend is close by, yet Tumalo retains a rural character, with the volcanic peaks and forests of the Cascades rising to the west.
