Oregon Breeding Bird Atlas
Hexagon map window

This detailed map is accompanied by summary statistics about the observations for the hexagon and square.

Each hexagon covers an area of 634.5 km2 (245 mi2, or 156,000 acres), has six sides each with a length of 15.8 km (9.8 mi), and measures 27.4 km (17.0 mi) perpendicularly from side to side.

The map shows cities and towns in yellow. Rivers, streams, lakes, reservoirs, and bays are shown in blue. Major highways are in black. The outline of the square is in black, as are county boundaries. Roads or paths covered by atlas observers are shown in red. Breeding Bird Survey routes are shown in a heavier red, with the route number. Very few secondary roads are shown; thus you may see roads in red that are disconnected from other roads. Red stippling shows other areas covered by atlas observers. Not all observers reported roads or areas covered; thus some coverage is not shown on these maps.

You may view different part of the state by clicking on the map in the direction you wish the map to pan.




The thumbnail map of the state shows where the hexagon is located within the state. Some hexagons overlap several counties; only the county in which most of the hexagon lies is given.



From here you may navigate to the statewide hexagon summary maps, to a list of observations for this hexagon/square, or to a list of species that might be found here, but were not. The "hexagon map" link brings you back here from another view of the hexagon.
