Payette Junction is a small place in Oregon, United States. It's not a big city or town, but more like a spot where important roads meet. This area is in Malheur County.
What is Payette Junction?
Payette Junction is known as a "highway junction." This means it's where two main roads, Oregon Route 52 and Oregon Route 201, cross paths. It's also called an "unincorporated community." This means it's a small group of homes or businesses. It does not have its own local government like a city does. Instead, it's part of the larger county.
Where is Payette Junction?
This junction is located in eastern Oregon. It sits between the towns of Ontario, Oregon in Oregon and Weiser, Idaho in Idaho. It's very close to the border between Oregon and Idaho. The Snake River flows nearby, and this river actually forms the border in this area. Just about a mile away, across the Snake River, is the town of Payette, Idaho.
