Barlow County is the primary setting of the Melisende Dulac Series.
Details
Barlow is a fictional county in the high desert region of central Oregon. The county seat is Samuelton, Oregon. Much of the county is made up of high desert rangeland and irrigated farms. The west central portion of the county is dominated by Lost Brother Butte, a dormant volcanic mountain which has on its slopes the Brother Drop Ski Resort.
Also in the high county are the villages of Crestview and Munro. Among the flatlands in the northern county is the town of Handbrake. To the south, the country is broken up with buttes, including Shatter Hill.
On the northwest slopes of Lost Brother Butte is Dryer Lake, home to the Dryer Lake Resort, a developed community featuring a golf course, high-end shopping village, and luxury homes and cottages.
The Palmer River flows east from Lost Brother Butte through the Palmer River Valley, snaking through Wilton and Samuelton.
