Chapter 7 - The Bypassed East

Rural Oregon


The majority of Oregon is considered rural, covered in forests and farmland.  This is not by accident, the Oregon government has taken steps to protect against urban sprawl in the state.  Some counties have minimum acreage requirements to protect farmland from being subdivided for multiple uses such as wineries that would put stress on the already draining water table in the different areas.
