This does not include abandoned, orphaned, decommisioned, or closed roads on DNR lands. Roads not on DNR Lands are of unknown status are shown in grey. Roads not on DNR lands and of unknown status may not be drivable. IncludesThe ROAD feature class stores the spatial location and attributes of the State of Washington, Department of Natural Resources’ (DNR) forest roads and of other DNR, public and selected private roads in the state. Other elements of the transportation network such as ferries, railroads, and trails are not included. ContactWashington State Department of Natural Resources (WA DNR) Engineering DivisionAlexandra WashburnAlexandra.Washburn@dnr.wa.gov Updating EffortsUpdating and editing efforts are primarily focused on roads in DNR managed state lands, adjunct roads or in areas that are covered by a published map that is undergoing an update. The original road lines were entered primarily by digitizing from paper maps, scanning by machine, or derived stereoscopically from black and white photo imagery. They are currently updated and corrected as needed, in most cases using on-line, geo-referenced orthophotography, stereo color imagery, GPS or field survey.Roads on DNR Lands should be edited frequently by division staff.Roads outside of DNR Lands are probably edited much less frequently. The group in mapping that did this, does not do it anymore.AttributesThe ROAD layer includes basic attributes that are linked to the intersection-based road segments. These attributes store information about route id, road name, road number, control, responsibility, status, access, surface, classification, and abandonment.PurposeThis layer is used to help in road infrastructure planning and maintenance, Forest Practices and Road Maintenance and Abandonment Planning (RMAP) compliance reporting, forest management, timber sales planning, and is the basis for the ROAD_ROUTE_FT layer and associated event tables that currently record these maintenance activities and road easements. It is widely used as a layer in cartographic presentations and published maps.

The water type is a Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) classification system of streams and water bodies that identifies whether or not streams/water bodies have potential fish habitat, and whether or not streams experience perennial or seasonal flow.

WC Hydro represents water courses as arcs or lines. These occur alone as single arcs representing streams, ditches, or pipelines, or as centerlines through water body polygons such as double-banked streams, lakes, impoundments, reservoirs, wet areas, or glaciers. WB represents water bodies as polygonal features. WB Hydro includes features such as Puget Sound, lakes, wet areas, reservoirs, impoundments, glaciers, islands, and dams. WS represents shorelines as polygon perimeter arcs and are edited coincidentally with WB. WC and WB are edited daily and simultaneously; updates are posted weekly for internal DNR use and monthly for external use. Routes can be built on the WC by using the whole stream identifier (WC_LLID_NR). DNR HYDRO is continually updated through the DNR Forest Practices Water Type Modification Form process. DNR HYDRO is mixed scale. The nominal scale is considered 1:24,000, but some data at larger scales are included.Watercourses Layer Metadata

The land base of the Pacific Northwest includes large areas that could support hardwoods or a hardwood component. Often, however, site index, the most commonly used measure of a site's potential productivity, is not available for red alder as other species occupy the site. In order to make site-specific management decisions, the suitability for red alder production can be assessed by geographic and topographic position, soil moisture and aeration during the growing season, and soil fertility and physical condition (Harrington 1986). The difficulty of weighing these physical factors to determine site suitability appears to be a major impediment to the establishment of red alder plantations. Additionally, forest managers are lacking a planning tool that would consider red alder in the landscape for long term management plans. To assist forest managers in their planning and site selection efforts, we developed a GIS-based Red Alder Site Suitability Model based on physical criteria identified by Harrington (1986) as most influential on the productivity of red alder. The major components of the model are elevation, topographic position, slope, aspect, soil type, and soil depth. The model was implemented in a GIS (ESRI ArcPro v.3.0) raster environment with topographic position, slope, aspect, and elevation derived from a 10-meter digital elevation model (DEM), using lidar data where available. Topographic position class of valley, lower slope, flat slope, middle slope, upper slope, or ridgetop was derived from the topographic position index (TPI) using standard deviation thresholds as described by Weiss (2001). The soil texture and depth were derived from Washington DNR’s corporate soil data layer. Each pixel was then classified and assigned one of four suitability categories: High, Medium, Low, and No Potential. Because of the level of spatial detail of the model, forest managers can assess the potential of red alder management on any given site, such as planned timber harvest. Additionally, the model can be used at a larger scale, i.e. planning for future product diversification in a watershed.The model has been cursorily field-verified on existing red alder plantations and compared with locations and site index of natural red alder stands for DNR's forest inventory system. Initial results indicate that the model is accurate in identifying sites with potential for intensive red alder management. Local knowledge will still be an important factor in the application of the model. Frost pockets or areas susceptible to other physical damage such as ice damage (i.e. within the east wind drafts of the Columbia River Gorge) are not identified in by this model. The usefulness of this model will be determined by the experience of the field staff over time. References:Harrington, Constance A. 1986. A method of site quality evaluation for red alder. Gen. Tech.

In cooperation with the Washington State Department of Ecology, DNR Forest Practices developed a systematic reclassification of the original USFWS wetlands codes into WAC 222-16-035 types. The reclassification was done in 1995 according to the Forest Practice Rules in place at the time. The WAC's for defining wetlands are 222-16-035 and 222-16-050.The DNR Forest Practices Wetlands Geographic Information System (GIS) Layer is based on the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI).

The reclassification was done in 1995 according to the Forest Practice Rules in place at the time. The WAC's for defining wetlands are 222-16-035 and 222-16-050.It is intended that these data be only a first step in determining whether or not wetland issues have been or need to be addressed in an area. The DNR Forest Practices Division and the Department of Ecology strongly supports the additional use of hydric soils (from the GIS soils layer) to add weight to the call of 'wetland'. Reports from the Department of Ecology indicate that these data may substantially underestimate the extent of forested wetlands. Various studies show the NWI data is 25-80% accurate in forested areas. Most of these data were collected from stereopaired aerial photos at a scale of 1:58,000. The stated accuracy is that of a 1:24,000 map, or plus or minus 40 feet. In addition, some parts of the state have data that are 30 years old and only a small percentage have been field checked. Thus, for regulatory purposes, the user should not rely solely on these data. On-the-ground checking must accompany any regulatory call based on these data.The reclassification is based on the USFWS FWS_CODE. The FWS_CODE is a concatenation of three subcomponents: Wetland system, class, and water regime. Forest Practices further divided the components into system, subsystem, class, subclass, water regime, special modifiers, xclass, subxclass, and xsystem. The last three items (xsomething) are for wetland areas which do not easily lend themselves to one class alone. The resulting classification system uses two fields: WLND_CLASS and WLND_TYPE. WLND_CLASS indicates whether the polygon is a forested wetland (F), open water (O), or a vegetated wetland (W). WLND_TYPE, indicates whether the wetland is a type A (1), type B (2), or a generic wetland (3) that doesn't fit the categories for A or B type wetlands. WLND_TYPE = 0 (zero) is used where WLND_CLASS = O (letter "O").

The wetland polygon is classified as F, forested wetland; O, open water; or W, vegetated wetland depending on the following FWS_CODE categories: F O W --------------------------------------------------- Forested Open Vegetated Wetland Water Wetland --------------------------------------------PFO* POW PUB5 E2FO PRB* PML2 PUB1-4 PEM* PAB* L2US5 PUS1-4 L2EM2 PFL* PSS* L1RB* PML1 L1UB*

The Parcel layer consists of parcels that are areas land in which the Department of Natural Resources holds some interest and are located anywhere in the upland area of the State of Washington. Three types of Parcels are currently held in the parcel layer. The number of Parcel types may increase in the future. Ownership Parcels, parcel type code 1, consist of Washington State owned land managed by the Department of Natural Resources. Most ownership parcels are held and managed for the benefit of some trust such as the Common School and Indemnity trust. Of the several parcel types, only Ownership Parcels represent the entire extent of the particular type of land managed by DNR. The other parcel types are incomplete data sets. Disposed Parcels, parcel type code 2, consist of ownership parcels that have been disposed of since July 1, 2007. A very few parcels disposed of prior to that date are also included. Easement Parcels, parcel type code 3, consist of various types of easements acquired for the State by the Department. Some of the Easements are negative easements over land not owned by the State, for example Conservation Easements which remove certain development rights away for the parcel owner. Other Easements are positive rights acquired by the State, such as roadway easements.

This tells the story of cataclysmic outburst floods that shaped the landscape of the Pacific Northwest during the last ice age. With imagery, maps and video, this story map follows the devastating deluge of the Missoula floods as it tore across the landscape, from its origins in western Montana to its terminus at the Pacific Ocean. Sites along the Ice Age Floods National Geologic Trail are featured, with an emphasis on flood features in Washington State.

This is the shoreline modification layer from the larger Washington ShoreZone Inventory. It shows the percentage of anthropogenic shoreline modification in each shoreline segment. Information on other human features are also included in the attribute table, such as the number of docks, ramps, piers, and slips. Shoreline modification can take the form of piers, bulkheads, rip rap or other forms. The ShoreZone Inventory includes all saltwater shorelines statewide. It was completed between 1994 and 2000 using aerial videography collected at low tide.The Washington State ShoreZone Inventory can be used to better understand and manage Washington's coastal ecosystems. The inventory is useful for identifying the location of sensitive resources, for characterizing the distribution of habitats, and for identifying rare features. For example, maps of the inventory data can illustrate the distribution of eelgrass. Data can also be analyzed numerically to characterize abundance, such as the percentage of a shoreline that has been modified, or the relative abundance of different types of shorelines.

DATA LINKED FROM WA DNR OPEN DATA PORTALSee the metadata and original layer hereThe Washington Geological Survey’s simplified volcanic hazards database is adapted from a U.S. Geological Survey compilation of volcanic hazards for the five stratovolcanoes in Washington State (Mount St. Helens, Mount Adams, Mount Rainier, Mount Baker, and Glacier Peak). The features were generated by digitizing the volcanic hazard areas from simplified hazard maps produced by the USGS. The database contains feature classes showing the modeled extent of lahars, near-volcano hazards, regional lava flows, sediment, and tephra (ash) that might affect Washington following a volcanic eruption. Note that lahars can occur even when a volcano is not erupting. The original hazard maps are available on the USGS website (https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/vsc/multimedia/cvo_hazards_maps_gallery.html)
