WeedMapper is a collection of spatial information on the distribution of noxious weeds listed by the Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA). The WeedMapper website provides data maps that are viewable at the state or county levels.
WeedMapper is a web-based tool to assist weed management professionals, land managers, as well as the general public to make informed noxious weed management decisions. It is designed to help facilitate weed identification, reporting, and verification. Weed information and an online report form are provided to assist users. Links to the ODA webpage for additional information including noxious weed profiles are also provided.
Depending on the types of information desired, WeedMapper users can
follow these links:
General
information about noxious (A,B,T listed) weed species
Find
the geographic distribution of a weed species
Report
weed locations to ODA
Links
to other websites of interest
Please note, in some cases spatial data is unavailable or limited and data gaps can misrepresent the actual on the ground distribution. General county maps, found on the weed information pages, show known county-by-county infestation levels. The general county maps are updated annually to help provide accurate up-to-date information.
County level data maps represent the data that has been submitted by cooperators representing the reported locations of a specific weed for each County. Again, please note in some cases data has not been submitted into the system therefore data gaps can misrepresent the actual distribution of a noxious weed on the data maps.
It is our hope that WeedMapper will foster greater cooperation between landowners, state and federal agencies, county weed programs, CWMA's, and non-profit organizations and improve the effectiveness of weed control programs.
We want to thank the major organizations that provided data and support for the WeedMapper Project: BLM, USFS, County weed programs, CWMA's and TNC.
