OWRI Map Submission
How to Create a Project Location Map
A project location map is required with your OWRI submission. To complement the new online reporting to OWRI, OWEB is suggesting online map-making tools for creating and submitting a project location map electronically. In an attempt to standardize the map products received by OWEB for OWRI projects, we have created mapping guidance documents based on these different data formats. The idea is to give respondents a ranking of preferred map formats and to allow flexibility for novice GIS users. For those of you who prefer to submit paper copies of the OWRI form, we ask that you print the map created using the "Beginning GIS Users" instructions and attach the paper copy of the map to your form before mailing it to OWEB.
 
1. Advanced GIS Users-- The format OWEB would prefer to receive project location information in is one or several shapefiles (if the project has point, polygon and line features, three shapefiles would need to be submitted).

2. Beginning GIS Users-- The second best method for submitting project location information is using the Oregon Explorer Advanced Mapping tool to create a map in PDF.

Submitting your Map
After you have created your project location information in one of the suggested formats, please email the data (PDF or shapefile) to oweb.mapping@state.or.usIf you submitted your form using the OWRI Online Submission Tool please include the ProjectID provided to you in the subject line of the email .
 
If for any reason you have difficulty sending your project location data by email, please contact Ashley Seim, ashley.seim@state.or.us
