The mapping project Is part ofj a cooperative program involving i the Oregon State Highway Do- j partment, the U S Geological Survey and the U S Forest Ser- j vice. The Highway Department's portion of the mapping project covered an area of 31,000 square miles or 35 percent of the state's area. It covered all or parts of Baker, Crook, Deschutes, Gilliam, Harney, Jefferson, Klamath, Lake, Malheur, Morrow, Sher man, Wasco and Wheeler coun ties. The U S Geological Survey mapped the portion of the state west of tlip Cascade summit. All Forest lands were mapped by the U S Forest Service.
