Rome

Rome occupies a bend of the Owyhee River in southeastern Oregon’s high-desert country. This small unincorporated community in Malheur County lies along U.S. Route 95, where the road crosses a dry, open basin shaped by the river. The wider Owyhee region is defined by basalt canyons, sagebrush flats and extensive rangeland rather than urban development. Rome’s name recalls Italy’s capital, an unexpected cultural reference in this spare setting.
