G.I.S. Maps

These maps each show a different feature of the infrastructure of downtown Corvallis. They are: storm drains, sewer lines, water lines, and lighting. We obtained these maps from GIS, the Geographical Information System. From doing this study on infrastructure, we learned that the storm and sewer lines run under the alleys, while the water lines run under the streets. All of these lines appear to empty out into the nearby Willamette River.
