The Gorge Commission works closely with partner organizations to develop and maintain spatial data that informs planning, monitoring, and project development. The National Scenic Area is a diverse landscape – our GIS staff coordinates with various partner organizations to ensure our data reflects the best available information.

Utilize our interactive maps to navigate the complexities of land ownership and land use designations and to understand the scenic, natural, cultural, recreational, and economic resources that we protect.

The Columbia River Gorge Commission manages spatial data sets that may be available to you for planning purposes. To request shapefiles or other data formats, please contact the GIS Coordinator at 509.493.3323 x223 or mike.schrankel@gorgecommission.org.

Management Plan Maps:

The Management Plan utilizes three principal maps (click to download):

• Landscape Settings
• Recreation Intensity Classes
• Land Use Designations

The scale and resolution of the downloaded maps may not be sufficient to determine the characteristics of a specific parcel.  The interactive maps below are better suited for that task.
