Hood Canal Watershed In-Lieu Fee Program Map
The Hood Canal Watershed In-Lieu Fee Program is being developed by the Hood Canal Coordinating council in an effort to increase aquatic resource functions in the Hood Canal watershed. The map was built using a combination of ArcGIS, Photoshop, and InDesign. We developed this map as a sub-contractor to Peterson GIS.
The Resilient Habitats Campaign
We have developed a series of maps for the Sierra Club's Resilient Habitats Campaign. These maps are desigened to help the Sierra Club communicate to citizens, activists, and elected officials where the Sierra Club is working to protect and restore habitats that will be resilient to climate change along the California Coast, in the Pacific Northwest, in the Greater Everglades, and several other ecoregions around the United States.
San Juan County Parks, Trails, and Natural Areas Plan 2011-2016
San Juan County recently adopted the San Juan County Parks, Trails and Natural Areas Plan 2011-2016. The Plan provides a long-term vision and six-year plan to guide action and investment in a wide variety of outdoor spaces and facilities managed by San Juan County. CORE GIS provided mapping, data development, analysis, photography, graphic design and layout. The maps at right show public and protected lands throughout the County, and proposed trail corridors on Lopez island. For more inforation, please see the project website here.
Wild Olympics Campaign
Working with the Washington Wilderness Coalition, the Sierra Club, and the Pew Charitable Trusts, we are mapping proposed additions to wilderness areas, proposed expansions of Olympic National Park, and potential new Wild and Scenic River corridors. We are also providing detailed spatial and statistical analyses of underlying ownership, management, and forest stand age within proposal boundaries as the coalition works with local communities and agencies to refine the proposals.For more information and to see how our maps are being used, please visit the Campaign's website here.
Hiking Washington's History
The University of Washington Press published Hiking Washington's History in October, 2010. The book can be ordered here or from Amazon. CORE GIS worked with author Judy Bentley to produce over 50 maps encompassing every region of Washington State, including regional locator maps and a detailed map for every hike in the book.
Marymoor Park Map
This map was created for King County Parks and the Friends of Marymoor Park. Marymoor is a large regional park located in the City of Redmond on the north end of Lake Sammamish, and is host to numerous recreational and cultural activities--bird watching, rock concerts, bicycle racing, soccer, gardening, and many others. The map will be distributed throughout the park to help park visitors find their destinations and also provide information about the wide variety of resources and facilities. CORE GIS provided cartography, graphic design, and layout.
