Beatty is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Klamath County, Oregon, United States.[2] Beatty is along Oregon Route 140 at the confluence of the Sycan and Sprague rivers and is by highway northeast of Klamath Falls.[3]
Beatty was named for J. L. Beatty, a missionary who lived nearby when the area was in the Klamath Indian Reservation. The post office in Beatty, ZIP code 97621, was established in 1913.[4] Toby "Winema" Riddle is buried near Beatty.[5]
Beatty had a station on the Oregon, California and Eastern Railway, which by 1927 reached from Klamath Falls to Bly. A 1941 timetable lists Beatty as the 13th stop east of Klamath Falls between Sprague River and Sycan.[6] After 1990, the rail line passing near Beatty became part of a rail trail, the OC&E Woods Line State Trail, managed by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department.[7] [8]
This region experiences warm (but not hot) and dry summers, with no average monthly temperatures above 71.6F. According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Beatty has a warm-summer Mediterranean climate, abbreviated "Csb" on climate maps.[9]
