SALEM – A sunrise photo of Vista House and the Columbia River Gorge graces the cover of the 2017 - 2019 Official Oregon State map. Another photo shows the lesser-known Celestial Falls near Maupin – an appropriately named water feature for 2017, with the solar eclipse occurring on Aug. 21, 2017. The map also includes updates to state highways, interchanges and other roadways as a result of construction projects completed since the last publication, summer 2015. Maps are free and available at visitor centers, DMV offices, chambers of commerce and other outlets.

The map contains safety messages, a welcome from Governor Kate Brown, travel resource contacts and other important information for visitors and travelers. ODOT’s Geographic Information Services unit created the files for the map. The map team, which includes ODOT’s Photo/Video Services group and ODOT Communications staff, has won several national awards for this biennial publication. More information about the new maps is available online.
