AREA HISTORY The Crooked River Valley has long been valued for its dependable water, fertile soils, and open rangelands. Long before settlement, Native peoples traveled the river corridor for hunting, fishing, and seasonal gathering. During the late 1800s, homesteaders and cattlemen established ranches throughout the region, recognizing the river as a vital resource for livestock and agriculture. Over generations, the area evolved into one of Central Oregon’s most important ranching communities, where hay production and cattle operations continue to shape the landscape. Today, the valley reflects a rich ranching heritage while preserving the wide-open spaces and rural character that define Central Oregon.

WATER RIGHTS Water rights in Oregon are governed by the doctrine of prior appropriation, commonly known as “first in time, first in right.” Unlike land ownership, water rights are considered a separate property interest and are administered by the Oregon Water Resources Department (OWRD). A property’s water rights—including the quantity of water, priority date, source, and authorized use—play a significant role in determining its agricultural value, productivity, and long-term reliability. For working farms and ranches, irrigation water rights are among the property’s most valuable assets. Senior priority dates generally provide greater reliability during times of limited water availability, while authorized points of diversion, places of use, and beneficial uses define how and where water may legally be applied. Because water rights can significantly influence both operations and value, prospective buyers should carefully review all associated water right certificates, permits, maps, and historical use records during their due diligence. Understanding the scope and status of a property’s water rights is an essential part of evaluating any agricultural investment in Oregon. 20
