PURPOSE:

The boundary was developed to capture the administrative and watershed boundary of the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest, based on the Experimental Forest Establishment Report and to match the Willamette National Forest forest planning efforts. The boundary was updated in 2009 to add the three research watersheds outside of the Lookout Creek basin.

METHODS:

Processing Procedures - GI006:

Description: GI00601: The coverage was digitzed from USFS Primary Base Series topographic maps and edited in ArcEdit. The dataset was built (completed topology). The coverage was converted to a shapefile and projected to NAD83 Datum.

Processing Procedures - GI006 (1):

Description: GI00601: The coverage was digitzed from USFS Primary Base Series topographic maps and edited in ArcEdit. The dataset was built (completed topology).

Processing Procedures - GI006 (2):

Description: GI00602: The coverage was digitized from USFS Primary Base Series topographic maps and edited in ArcEdit. The dataset was built (completed topology). Watershed bounaries for Small watershed 9, 10, and 11 were added to the base Andrews Boundary layer.

SITE DESCRIPTION:

The complete watershed of Lookout Creek, which is the boundary for the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest, and experimental watersheds 9, 10, and 11.
