Change in land cover over roughly the past 140 years was evaluated for the Lower Columbia River and Estuary by comparing digital GIS representations of late 1800’s maps (Office of Coast topographic sheets, and General Land Office survey maps) with recent land cover data that was generated by the Lower Columbia Estuary Partnership as part of the Columbia River Estuary Ecosystem Classification. The evaluation was conducted for the historical floodplain of the tidally influenced, lower 146 miles of river. The data derived from this analysis constitutes one level of a multiple lines of evidence

The Columbian White-tailed Deer is an endangered subspecies of white-tailed deer. Once ranging over much of western Washington and Oregon, it now exists in two remnant populations, one of which is located within the Julia Butler Hansen National Wildlife Refuge , near Cathlamet, WA. This location is less than optimal for the long term recovery and viability of this species, due to periodic flooding as well as the existence of man-made and natural barriers which prevent expansion into useable habitats, among other factors. To address this limitation, portions of this population are being

The 2010 Lower Columbia Terrain Model is a combined bathymetric/topographic seamless digital surface model created by the Portland District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. The project was completed primarily to suppor t hydraulic modeling related to the Columbia River Treaty, however its applications extend far beyond this. The model incorporates the most recent elevation data which has been collected for the lower Columbia River and its floodplain, including the following sources: NOAA multibeam bathymetric surveys, 2008-2009 US Army Corps of Engineers crossline and channel bathymetric
