Best to download by quad, occasionally data from spatial mapper are out of date.

Contact for updated NWI:  Erin Stockenberg at FWS.

Seamless Oregon Wetlands Data Layer, brings in more information about streams, up further out of NWI zones & Springs.  Download from Oregon Geospatial site

Just thought I would post some more information about the availablity of NWI data in Washington/Oregon.  Also just to clarify as the map is not the greatest to read, all of the Oregon coast data (under the 100 foot contour) was updated using imagery from 1999. 

If anyone has any questions please contact me directly rusty_griffin@fws.gov or 503.231.6775.

On a side note, we are interested in updating select 24k quads throughout the coming year that would be the most beneficial for SLAMM modeling.  Speaking with Erin the other day we would most likely be targeting the Willapa Bay/Gray's Harbor area, but are open to any suggestions.

Ideally the targeted quads would be able to be utilized by numerous agencies and/or provide a substantial upgrade in the quality of the data.

Please let me know if anyone has any suggestions for quads as I will be compiling a preliminary list over the coming weeks.
