- (b) **Approved maps.** The appropriate maps for determining the boundary of the Yamhill-Carlton viticultural area are eight 1:24,000 scale United States Geological Survey topography maps. They are titled:
  - (1) Gaston Quadrangle, Oregon, 1956, revised 1992;
  - (2) Laurelwood Quadrangle, Oregon, 1956, revised 1992;
  - (3) Dundee Quadrangle, Oregon, 1956, revised 1993;

  - (6) **McMinnville Quadrangle, Oregon—** Yamhill Co., 1957, revised 1992;
  - (7) **Muddy Valley Quadrangle, Oregon—** Yamhill Co., 1979, revised 1992; and
  - (8) **Turner Creek Quadrangle, Oregon, 1979.**
- (c) **Boundary.** The Yamhill-Carlton viticultural area is located in Yamhill and Washington Counties, Oregon, and is entirely within the Willamette Valley viticultural area. The Yamhill-Carlton viticultural area is limited to lands at or above 200 feet in elevation and at or below 1,000 feet in elevation within its boundary, which is described as follows—
  - (1) The point of beginning is on the Gaston map in the village of Gaston at the intersection of Gaston Road East (E. Main Street within Gaston) and the 200-foot elevation line, approximately 225 feet west of State Route 47, [section 49](/cfr/27/49.md), T1S, R4W. From this beginning point, proceed southerly and then southeasterly about 8.15 miles along the meandering 200-foot elevation line (crossing to and from the Laurelwood map in sections [12](/cfr/27/12.md) and [13](/cfr/27/13.md), T2S, R4W, and then returning to the Laurelwood map) to the 200-foot elevation line's intersection with Spring Hill Road, [section 58](/cfr/27/58.md), T2S, R3W (Laurelwood Quadrangle); then
  - (2) Proceed south 1.1 miles on Spring Hill Road, which becomes North Valley Road at Laughlin Road, crossing onto the Dundee map, to the road's intersection with the 200-foot elevation line, [section 30](/cfr/27/30.md), T2S, R3W (Dundee Quadrangle); then
  - (3) Proceed northerly then southerly for approximately 5 miles along the 200-foot elevation line, crossing over to and back from the Laurelwood map, to the 200-foot elevation line's intersection with State Route 240, [section 47](/cfr/27/47.md), T3S, R3W (Dundee Quadrangle); then
  - (4) Proceed straight west for 0.2 mile on State Route 240 to its intersection with Kuehne Road at the 207-foot benchmark, [section 47](/cfr/27/47.md), T3S, R3W (Dundee Quadrangle); then
  - (5) Proceed southerly for about 1.9 miles on Kuehne Road to its intersection with Abbey Road, [section 50](/cfr/27/50.md), T3S, R3W (Dundee Quadrangle); then
  - (6) Proceed southerly 1.4 miles on Abbey Road to its intersection with the 200-foot elevation line, north of the 174-foot elevation point, [section 52](/cfr/27/52.md), T3S, R3W (Dundee Quadrangle); then
  - (7) Proceed southwesterly for about 2.1 miles along the meandering 200-foot elevation line to Lafayette Cemetery on the Carlton map in [section 1](/cfr/27/1.md), T4S, R4W, and turning northerly along the 200-foot elevation line, continue along the elevation line for about 6 miles, crossing to and from the Dundee map, to the 200-foot elevation line's intersection with Stag Hollow Road, north of Hendricks Road and 190-foot elevation point, [section 24](/cfr/27/24.md), T3S, R4W (Carlton Quadrangle); then
  - (8) Continue westerly along the meandering 200-foot elevation line, turning northeasterly as the elevation line passes through the Carlton Lakes State Wildlife Refuge, then westerly as the elevation line crosses Stag Hollow Creek in [section 47](/cfr/27/47.md), T3S, R4W, then southerly as the elevation line crosses the North Yamhill River on the Fairdale map in [section 43](/cfr/27/43.md), T2S, R5W, then, returning to the Carlton map, continue southerly on the 200-foot elevation line to its intersection with Meadow Lake Road near the southwest corner of [section 55](/cfr/27/55.md), T3S, R4W (Carlton Quadrangle);
  - (9) Continue westerly along the meandering 200-foot elevation line, crossing onto the Fairdale map, to the elevation line's intersection with the 123°17′30″ longitude line (north of Panther Creek) in the western extension of [section 22](/cfr/27/22.md), T3S, R5W (Fairdale Quadrangle); then
  - (10) Proceed 0.2 mile straight south along the 123°17′30″ longitude line, crossing Panther Creek, to the line's intersection with the 200-foot elevation line south of the creek in the western extension of [section 22](/cfr/27/22.md), T3S, R5W (Fairdale Quadrangle); then
  - (11) Proceed easterly and then southeasterly along the meandering 200-foot elevation line, crossing onto the Carlton map, then the McMinnville map, to the elevation line's third intersection with an unnamed light-duty road, southwest of the Henderson Benchmark in [section 87](/cfr/27/87.md), T4S, R4W (McMinnville Quadrangle);
  - (12) Continue southerly and then westerly along the meandering 200-foot elevation line, crossing onto the Muddy Valley map, to the elevation line's intersection with Baker Creek Road (very near Baker Creek Road's intersection with High Heaven Road) in [section 54](/cfr/27/54.md), T4S, R5W (Muddy Valley Quadrangle); then
  - (13) Proceed west-southwest for 0.8 mile on Baker Creek Road to its intersection with the 123°17′30″ longitude line in Happy Valley, [section 54](/cfr/27/54.md), T4S, R5W (Muddy Valley Quadrangle); then
  - (14) Proceed straight north 13.4 miles on the 123°17′30″ longitude line, passing through the Fairdale map and crossing onto the Turner Creek map, to the longitude line's intersection with the 1,000-foot elevation line in the northwestern quadrant of [section 10](/cfr/27/10.md), T2S, R5W, approximately one mile diagonally northwest of the footbridge in Menefee Park (Turner Creek Quadrangle); then
  - (15) Proceed easterly and then northerly for 4.1 miles along the meandering 1,000-foot elevation line to its intersection with the Washington-Yamhill County line at northern boundary of [section 3](/cfr/27/3.md), T2S, R5W (also the common T1S/T2S boundary line) (Turner Creek Quadrangle); then
  - (16) Proceed straight east 3.9 miles along the Washington-Yamhill County line, crossing onto the Gaston map, to the county line's intersection with South Road, just east of Mt. Richmond Road, [section 60](/cfr/27/60.md), T2S, R4W (Gaston Quadrangle); then
  - (17) Proceed east-northeast for 1.8 miles on South Road to its intersection with the 200-foot elevation line, 0.3 mile west of the Gaging Station, [section 34](/cfr/27/34.md), T1S, R4W (Gaston Quadrangle); then
  - (18) Proceed easterly 1.9 miles along the 200-foot elevation line and return to the beginning point within the village of Gaston.
- (d) From February 7, 2005, until December 2, 2010, the name of this viticultural area was “Yamhill-Carlton District”. Effective December 3, 2010, this viticulture area is named “Yamhill-Carlton”. Existing certificates of label approval showing “Yamhill-Carlton District” as an appellation of origin are revoked by operation of this regulation on December 3, 2012.
