Mapping resources and tools
An important part of forest management planning is creating a map of your property, and a great place to start is with an online tool created by Ecotrust called Landmapper. You can use Landmapper to create maps of your property that can be saved, downloaded or printed.
Landmapper is designed to help make conservation and management planning easier for forest landowners. The tool offers maps across Oregon, including aerial photos, street maps, topography, streams and soil types. You can use it to access an overview of your property, including county, elevation, legal description, acreage, fire districts and watershed details.
