Oregon State Scenic Waterways

This data set represents the centerline of the river segments designated and described as Scenic Waterways by ORS 390 and OAR Division 40, 736-040. This data set also provides a representation of the "Related adjacent land" described in ORS 390.805 and OAR 736-040-0015 and its corresponding classification from OAR 736-040-0040. This data was designed for use as a guide in determining the potential for certain lands to be covered by the Oregon statues and rules related to State Scenic Waterways. The polygon data was created by buffering the polyline geometry representing the centerline of the State Scenic Waterways by 1520 feet. This buffer distance was selected due to an absence of river bank data for all State Scenic Waterways. The buffer accommodated variation in river widths and most seasonal fluctuations in river channel location at the epoch of the source data. This data contains feature level metadata for source used in determining waterway end point location. For feature level metadata on the source used for locating waterway centerline refer to the State Scenic Waterway polyline featureclass.
