Oregon, Washington and Columbia River Basin Wildlife-Habitat Types maps are now available from NHI!

These wildlife-habitat maps are shaded-relief maps with county boundaries, and major city names added for reference. Consisting of 32 habitat types, the classification system used for these maps is the same used in the book and CD-ROM, Wildlife-Habitat Relationships in Oregon and Washington. Therefore, the Oregon and Washington maps make excellent companions to the book and CD-ROM. A Current (1999) and a Historic (circa 1850) version of each map are available in two different sizes.

NHI has not been able to have these maps professionally printed, like the Oregon Vegetation map below, due to the high set-up cost of offset printing. NHI prints these maps at the time of request using high-quality glossy papers in large-format inkjet plotters and printers. Therefore, continued exposure to air and sunlight without proper framing could cause the inks to fade over time (though we have not seen this yet).

The large versions of the Oregon and Washington maps are approximately 25" high x 36" wide. The large US Columbia River Basin Wildlife-Habitat Types maps measure approximately 27" high x 36" wide. The smaller versions of all maps are printed on 13" high x 19" wide glossy paper.

To order copies of these maps, please send a check or money order for $25 per small map and $50 per large map (includes shipping within USA) along with a printed order form to:

A Canada-US Columbia River Basin Current Wildlife-Habitat map is also now (July 2001) available from the Northwest Habitat Institute! The result of a multi-partner, international mapping effort, this map adds wildlife-habitat types for the Canadian portion of the Columbia River Basin to the US portion mapped by NHI. The map is currently available only in a high-gloss large, 38" high x 36" wide, version at a 1:1,500,000 scale. To order copies of this map, please send a check for $70 per map (includes shipping within USA) along with a printed order form to:

Oregon Vegetation: Landscape-Level Cover Types map

The Oregon Vegetation: Landscape-Level Cover Types map is now available from NHI. The map completes a four-year effort to characterize Oregon vegetation. Satellite images collected from 1991 to 1993 form the basis for map analysis and interpretation. Numerous specific vegetation types that exist throughout Oregon have been combined to create the 62 cover types illustrated on the map. The cover type vegetation groups correspond to the level of vegetation analysis used by biologists to describe wildlife habitats.
