Database Type SDE
Originator City of Portland

Publication Date 10/18/2005
Abstract National Wetland Inventory (NWI) with revisions made by local governments in the tri-county region. Portland wetlands are updated from the original Metro dataset by City of Portland, Bureau of Planning & Sustainability to refine geometry, remove erroneously mapped wetlands, and add missing wetlands. This data can be viewed online at www.PortlandMaps.com.
Purpose For identifying the location of wetlands.
Supplemental Information This dataset is regularly updated.
Last Dataset Update 12/02/2024 18:32
Last Source Update 12/02/2024 12:55
Maintenance/Update Frequency As needed
Extent Clackamas County, Multnomah County, and Washington County, Oregon
Data Type Vector
Shape Type Polygon
Feature Count 6586
Horizontal Position Accuracy Horizontal accuracy varies. For wetlands mapped using photogrammetric data, accuracy appears to be roughly +/- 10' in most circumstances. Wetlands mapped with differential GPS are within +/- 3'. Horizontal accuracy of wetlands mapped with aerial photography and LiDAR is +/- 5'. The horizontal accuracy of wetlands based on other sources (such as Metro) is unknown. Due to the difficulty in identifying an exact boundary of a wetland feature without a detailed field survey, wetland location should be considered approximate.
Horizontal Position Accuracy Link Neither

01/01/2010 Wetlands were modified in remapped in January 2010 using Oregon Department of State Lands (DSL) permit information, field surveys from the City of Portland's Bureau of Environmental Services and Parks & Recreation, and 2004/2005/2007 LiDAR data (a complete description of the mapping methodology is attached). As new DSL and survey information becomes available, the data will be modified accordingly.
02/05/2020 The original National Wetland Inventory (NWI) was modified by Metro with revisions made by other local governments in the tri-county region. These revisions were coordinated by Metro's Growth Management department. Wetlands are registered to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5 minute quadrangles. For more information, refer to:http://mazama.metro-region.org/metadata/display.cfm?Meta_layer_id=462&Db_type=rlislite
05/10/2020 Wetlands within the City of Portland and the Multomah County pockets were remapped using the 2002 Metro wetland inventory polygon shapefile as the original reference. All attributes from any Metro-mapped data were maintained in the updated waterbodies. Wetlands were reviewed and remapped as necessary based on data collected in the field, correcting discrepancies between the wetland data and the aerial photos, removing filled wetlands, etc. To date there has been no comprehensive review of ALL wetlands within the City and County pockets. Photogrammetric data (2' contours) and aerial photos were used as reference for remapping waterbodies. Any open water feature visible on the aerial photos or apparent as a depression in the 2' contour data was mapped. Waterbodies identified in the field were remapped to correspond with visual assessment (as recorded on a field sheet) and any GPS points collected. Waterbodies located in this matter were attributed with a "GPS_DATE". All of this supporting information is in digital format and available from the City of Portland, Bureau of Planning.
