Fort Rock Oregon A Valley For New Settlers
J T King writes from Fort Rock Oregon describing Silver Lake Valley in Lake County. The area spans about 15 by 20 miles with timbered surrounds and volcanic ash soil rich for farming. Water wells are deep and good, homesteads date from four years prior, with 150 to 900 settlers, four schools, two daily mails, passenger service, and town amenities. Agriculture focuses on hay with strong wheat and grain potential once sagebrush is cleared. Several homesteads remain open though entry requires local knowledge, and locators charge reasonable fees.
