Aerial Survey Data
Aerial survey data for 1980-2007 are available in both .e00 and shapefile formats; both types of files are projected in Albers, NAD 83; see data dictionary for projection parameters. Select a zip file (below) to download the insect and disease observations in Oregon and Washington for a particular year. See the data dictionary for a description of the data. Contact Julie Johnson (503-808-2998) for more information. Learn more about current aerial surveys. For a historic perspective, view a 1955 manual (a 6.8 MB pdf file). Aerial survey observations and other data have been summarized in Forest Health Highlights, Conditions Reports, and other related reports.
View the 2008 schedule for aerial survey flights, or maps of flight lines from aerial surveys conducted in previous years.
Warning! Due to problems with our national Forest Service webserver, large .pdf or .zip files (such as most map files on this page) may not load correctly. If you encounter this problem, consider trying again later (the problem is intermittent), or during non-business hours. You can also contact Julie Johnson or Kathy Sheehan to receive specific files by email. We encourage Forest Service users who encounter problems to submit tickets to EUSC to raise the visibility of this problem.

Similar aerial survey maps are now available online for Alaska, parts of the Rocky Mountains (Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, and portions of Wyoming and South Dakota), and the Lake States (Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, and Missouri). Access much of this data interactively at the new FHP Geospatial Portal.
Our Canadian colleagues with the British Columbia Ministry of Forests and Range have aerial survey information available online in the form of reports, maps, and tables.
