Oregon’s Forest Atlas 2010 online edition
Note: The Oregon Forest Atlas 2010 is online. Very interesting, very colorful maps. And some data to go along with them. Thanks to JG for the tip.
The Oregon Forest Atlas project [here] was developed in 2010 to provide public members with a broader understanding of Oregon’s forests using contemporary technology. Maps developed for the Forest Atlas use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data obtained by the U.S. Forest Service PNW Research Station, data from Oregon State University and data gathered and maintained by the Oregon Department of Forestry.
Maps include:
MODIS Satellite Images of Oregon
Oregon Forestland Generalized Geology
Oregon Forestland Historic Vegetation - 1850
Oregon: Generalized Land Cover
Oregon Land Use
Oregon: Ecological Systems Habitat Types
Oregon Forestland - All Sources
Major Land Resource Areas

This map depicts Oregon’s forest coverage – 30,472,000 acres – expressed by whether the landowner is the federal government, State of Oregon, tribal governments, family/small woodland owners or private industrial timber producers. Data sources are the U.S. Forest Service PNW Research Station in Corvallis, the Oregon Institute for Natural Resources at Oregon State University and the Oregon Department of Forestry.
