The Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) is the Federal standard for geographic nomenclature. The U.S. Geological Survey developed the GNIS for the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, a Federal inter-agency body chartered by public law to maintain uniform feature name usage throughout the Government and to promulgate standard names to the public. The GNIS is the official repository of domestic geographic names data; the official vehicle for geographic names use by all departments of the Federal Government; and the source for applying geographic names to Federal electronic and printed products of all types.

The original source for these data is Geonames, the ORGNIS dataset contains only features located in Oregon. Minimal processing of data downloaded from the GNIS repository was performed by the Oregon Geospatial Enterprise Office, these changes are documented in the last process step in the metadata.

Purpose

The Geographic Names Information System contains information about physical and cultural geographic features of all types in the United States, associated areas, and Antarctica, current and historical, but not including roads and highways. The database holds the Federally recognized name of each feature and defines the feature location by state, county, USGS topographic map, and geographic coordinates. Other attributes include names or spellings other than the official name, feature designations, feature classification, historical and descriptive information, and for some categories the geometric boundaries. The database assigns a unique, permanent feature identifier, the Feature ID, as a standard Federal key for accessing, integrating, or reconciling feature data from multiple data sets. The GNIS collects data from a broad program of partnerships with Federal, State, and local government agencies and other authorized contributors. The GNIS provides data to all levels of government and to the public, as well as to numerous applications through a web query site, web map and feature services, file download services, and customized files upon request.

This data represents the State of Oregon city limit boundaries. Each city limit is defined as a continuous area within the statutory boundary of an incorporated city, which is the smallest subdivision of an annexed area. It is represented as spatial data (polygon with label point).

This map layer includes cities and towns in Oregon. These cities were clipped from a larger dataset of cities collected from the 1970 National Atlas of the United States. Where applicable, U.S. Census Bureau codes for named populated places were associated with each name to allow additional information to be attached. The Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) was also used as a source for additional information. This is a revised version of the December 2003 map layer.

This is a dataset download, not a document. The Open button will start the download.In 2015, the Oregon Biodiversity Information Center at Portland State University worked with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW), to assist in their 2015 conservation strategy update. This work involved updating the maps of each of ODFW’s conservation strategy habitats originally created for the first strategy in 2006,and integrating these into a 2015 strategy habitat map. The updated maps took advantage of new data and spatial modeling tools. However, strategy habitats only represent only 11 of the approximately 77 Oregon habitats, and are only mapped in the ecoregions in which they are conservation priorities. As a result, there was a strong interest in using this 2015 data to create a statewide, comprehensive habitat map. In 2017, the Oregon Department of Administrative Services, Geographic Enterprise Office (DAS-GEO), through their Framework Implementation program, with additional support from ODFW, funded the completion of a statewide habitat map, which was completed at the end of 2018. The habitat map is a compilation of a number of recent regional and ecosystem focused vegetation-mapping efforts. It includes the best available data for each of the habitat types. As a result, different parts of the map rely on varied methods and data. For detailed methodology please see the enclosed PDF document.

This is a map of historical ("presettlement") vegetation for the state of Oregon, created with Arcview 3.2 by merging digital data from different sources: H. J. Andrews, General Land Office (GLO), Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO), BLM, Oregon Gap analysis. The H. J. Andrews map forms the background into which more detailed coverages were incorporated. The data consist of an ArcView shapefile. Scale varies throughout the coverage, depending on the source of the data; the overall scale is 1:100,000.

Vector polygon map data of city limits from cities across the State of Oregon containing 241 features.

City limits GIS (Geographic Information System) data provides valuable information about the boundaries of a city, which is crucial for various planning and decision-making processes. Urban planners and government officials use this data to understand the extent of their jurisdiction and to make informed decisions regarding zoning, land use, and infrastructure development within the city limits.

By overlaying city limits GIS data with other layers such as population density, land parcels, and environmental features, planners can analyze spatial patterns and identify areas for growth, conservation, or redevelopment. This data also aids in emergency management by defining the areas of responsibility for different emergency services, helping to streamline response efforts during crises..

This city limits data is available for viewing and sharing as a map in a Koordinates map viewer. This data is also available for export to DWG for CAD, PDF, KML, CSV, and GIS data formats, including Shapefile, MapInfo, and Geodatabase.

This data contains the location and legend of mileposts markers (signs) on state owned highways.

The 2020 cartographic boundary shapefiles are simplified representations of selected geographic areas from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). These boundary files are specifically designed for small-scale thematic mapping. When possible, generalization is performed with the intent to maintain the hierarchical relationships among geographies and to maintain the alignment of geographies within a file set for a given year. Geographic areas may not align with the same areas from another year. Some geographies are available as nation-based files while others are available only as state-based files. County subdivisions are the primary divisions of counties and their equivalent entities for the reporting of Census Bureau data. They include legally-recognized minor civil divisions (MCDs) and statistical census county divisions (CCDs), and unorganized territories. In MCD states where no MCD exists or no MCD is defined, the Census Bureau creates statistical unorganized territories to complete coverage. The entire area of the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Island Areas are covered by county subdivisions. The generalized boundaries of legal MCDs are based on those as of January 1, 2020 as reported through the Census Bureau's Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS). The generalized boundaries of all CCDs, delineated in 21 states, are those as reported as part of the Census Bureau's Participant Statistical Areas Program (PSAP) for the 2020 Census.

This polygon layer contains a spatial representation of a geographic area that is designated as a Groundwater Management Area for the Southern Willamette Valley in Oregon.

This digital data set, compiled from new 10-meter digital elevation model (DEM) data, represents the physiography of the Willamette Valley, Oregon. This new physiographic data is useful because the improved resolution allows for better visualization of flood and fluvial features in the low lying areas of the Willamette Valley. Many scientist are interested in the Willamette Valley because it is subject to a variety of earthquake hazards, and its water and geologic resources are under pressure from rapid urbanization (see sheets for a brief description). Further, this Open-File report details the techniques used to create these maps (See readme.pdf). It is the author's purpose to publish these techniques and data so others may use this report to generate their own gray scale and/or color shaded-relief maps. All information about the data and methods used to create this report are in the readme.pdf file and this document.

This digital dataset was compiled from newly released U.S. Geological Survey 10-meter digital elevation model (DEM) data, along with stream and transportation coverages previously published on the internet. This report consists of a digital representation of the physiography of the Willamette Valley. Contained in this dataset is: 1) 10-meter DEM data for the entire Willamette Valley; 2) the ARC/INFO grids used to create the color shaded-relief and gray scale shaded-relief images; 3) the necessary data ARC/INFO data to used to plot these data; and 4) several reports detailing the data formats (this docuement) and producers used to create these datasets. The scale of the original 10-meter DEM data should not be violated. Any use of these original data smaller than the intended scale (1:24,000) will not yield improved accuracy.

The databases in this report were compiled in ARC/INFO, a commercial Geographic Information System (Environmental Systems Research Institute, Redlands, California, with version 3.0 of the menu interface ALACARTE (Fitzgibbon and Wentworth, 1991, Fitzgibbon, 1991, Wentworth and Fitzgibbon, 1991). The files are in either GRID (ARC/INFO raster data) format or COVERAGE (ARC/ INFO vector data) format. Coverages are stored in uncompressed ARC export format (ARC/INFO version 8.0.2). ARC/INFO export files (files with the .e00 extension) can be converted into ARC/ INFO coverages in ARC/INFO (see below) and can be read by some other Geographic Information Systems, such as MapInfo via ArcLink and ESRI's ArcView (version 1.0 for Windows 3.1 to 3.11 is available for free from ESRI's web site: http://www.esri.com). The digital compilation was done in version 8.0.2 of ARC/INFO with version 3.0 of the menu interface ALACARTE (Fitzgibbon and Wentworth, 1991, Fitzgibbon, 1991, Wentworth and Fitzgibbon, 1991). Custom AMLs were written to compile the 10-meter DEM data from 7.5-minute quadrangles into large composite datasets. The data was compiled as ARC/INFO grids and then converted to decimeter integer grids. This procedure greatly reduces the file sizes without downgrading the data quality. Stream coverages were merged with the grids used to create the color shaded-relief grid composite. Further details on the techniques used to generate these maps are available in the readme file of this report.

The National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) is a feature-based database that interconnects and uniquely identifies the stream segments or reaches that make up the nation's surface water drainage system. NHD data was originally developed at 1:100,000 scale and exists at that scale for the whole country. High resolution NHD adds detail to the original 1:100,000-scale NHD. (Data for Alaska, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands was developed at high-resolution, not 1:100,000 scale.) Like the 1:100,000-scale NHD, high resolution NHD contains reach codes for networked features and isolated lakes, flow direction, names, stream level, and centerline representations for areal water bodies. Reaches are also defined to represent waterbodies and the approximate shorelines of the Great Lakes, the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and the Gulf of Mexico. The NHD also incorporates the National Spatial Data Infrastructure framework criteria set out by the Federal Geographic Data Committee.

This polygon layer contains a spatial representation of a geographic area that is designated as a Groundwater Management Area for the Lower Umatilla Basin in Oregon.
