Lake Mapping in Oregon

Lake & reservoir mapping in Oregon

Oregon's Cascade reservoirs and high-desert lakes serve irrigation, hydropower and recreation. We provide the bathymetry behind drawdown, sediment and habitat decisions.

Oregon has more than 6,000 lakes and reservoirs. Lake Monitor AI provides on-site bathymetric depth mapping, aquatic vegetation mapping, bottom composition and hardness mapping, fish and habitat mapping, side-scan imagery and GIS deliverables for waterbodies of every size across the state — from private ponds to major reservoirs.
