Summary

This ArcGIS shapefile shows the known locations of beaver activity (including beaver chews, lodges, and dams) in the Tualatin Basin. USGS was intending to collect information about the locations of beaver dams. Often, the GPS coordinates of dams were not known, but the beaver-affected areas were known. The information about locations with beaver activity was generated by multiple local agencies, groups, and organizations. The local sources had identified the beaver activity locations between 2013 and 2016. USGS worked with these local sources to combine all data into one inventory.

Purpose

The beaver dam location information was collected and compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for multiple reasons: 1) There is not a current inventory of beaver dams and activity in the Tualatin River basin. This dataset helps fill that gap. 2) This dam inventory will help the USGS validate a model of potential dam capacity in the basin. 3) Many agencies and local non-profit organizations are currently studying beavers, and completing this inventory increased communication and collaboration between groups.
