Bend's Quadrants

For my readers who are thinking about moving to Bend or unfamiliar with the layout, the town is divided into four quadrants.

The East / West dividing line is Hwy 97 (The Bend Parkway).

The North / South dividing line is a little more confusing. Starting on the East side of Bend the divider is Hwy 20 which turns into NE Greenwood then NW Greenwood as you are nearing and passing under the Bend Parkway (Hwy 97). Then just as you're leaving downtown Bend it turns into NW Newport Ave. and again turns into NW Shevlin Park Rd as you continue to head West.
