Aerial Mapping of
Area Now Completed
Mapping of Oregon's last re
maining unmapped area a sect
Ion of Harney and Malheur
counties has been completed
by the Oregon State Highway
Department according to W C
Williams, state highway engin
eer. 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.
All mapping was done by the
modem photogrammetric tech
nique which involves the use of
aerial photographs. This method
of mapping assures a high de
gree of accuracy.
Manuscript sheets or finished
maps are available for all areas
of the state. Finished maps for
counties will ultimately be avail
able at a nominal charge, it was
reported.

year comparatively almost.
The Folk hillers had the low
est per capita consumption of
hard liquor In the state. With
1.35 per cent of the state's pop
ulation they did only .54 per cent
of the drnklng. Polk also spent
the least per person for liquor,
only $10.32.
That's a forthright record with
Salem just across the river and
two sessions of the legislature
agoing In '57.
Could be something in Polk's
fine mountain air that keeps the
folks from patronizing the state
liquor stores neavily.
Could be something in the
hills, too.
The heaviest drinkers are in
Clatsop county. They exceeded
the state average of $25.90 with
$40.03 per capita spent for liquor.
