GIS Data

The Bureau of Land Management's Oregon/Washington (OR/WA) Data Library contains the spatial data of the Oregon and Washington BLM. The Data Library allows the user to obtain datasets and metadata via download. Please note that the available data in the link below does not represent the BLM's entire OR/WA Data Library.

The GIS Data Library of the BLM in OR/WA consists of:

• Statewide or regional coverages captured at a scale of 1:100,000 (or smaller).
• Resource and framework data captured at the scale of 1:24,000 (or larger) that have been built internally, which covers mostly BLM managed lands. However, there are some private lands included.
• Datasets that are created and/or maintained by the BLM in OR/WA only.
