The Columbia Basin Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program identified Ecosystem and Stream mapping as a foundation for the analysis of the effects of flooding within the hydroelectric and water storage reservoirs in the Columbia Basin. The evaluation of the wildlife and fisheries ecosystems lost throughout approximately 700 km2 of valley floor landscapes has been identified as the foundation for future analysis and reporting on those ecosystems.

Audience:  Government and Public

JMJ Holdings Inc. was contracted to undertake the mapping of ecosystems, geo-rectification of historic MS map series for the flooded areas and the digitization of water features from the historic mapping. This report documents the methods used, and results of that process. Figure 1 illustrates the project area, subunits and map sheet numbers. The specific objectives of this project are as follows: 1. to georectify 78 MS map series images in GEOTIFF format 2. to join these images as a mosaic Thirty-nine map sheets also have the following specific objectives: 3. to map stream reaches and calculate their gradients using MS map water features 4. to digitize MS map water features 5. to map ecosystems and register them to the MS maps 6. to document the process and describe ecosystem map units in a final report
