GIS Map

Welcome to the Okanogan National Forest GIS (Data Dictionary . This page contains metadata, or data about data, for our spatial data sets. The data sets are organized by theme. Each data dictionary will explain geographic information about the data set, who the data steward is, how the data set was built, and other associated information. Please contact the data steward if you have questions about the content of the data. Their phone number is included within the data dictionary.  The digital data is available on line free of charge. Just click on the Download link that is contained within the individual data dictionary. Many of these files are large, so please check the file size listed before downloading.  All data file have been compressed with the Unix Compress utility.   PC users can use a zip utility such as WinZip to unpack these

Winzip.Com . Unix users should use the uncompress command. Spatial Data is provided in Arc/Info export format.  These files can be used in Arc/Info, ArcView, or ArcExplorer GIS software packages. ArcExplorer is a free spatial data viewer that can read Arc/Info data sets. There is a free import utility that will import Arc/Info export files. ( ESRI.Com ).   Many other GIS and graphics software packages have a utility to import these files You can obtain a copy of this data set on 8mm tape in unix tar format or on CD-ROM if you contact Jack Rainford, GIS/Data Services Analyst at (509) 826-3573.
