SALEM, Ore. — A new map poster created by Oregon and Washington geologists offers an in-depth look at the interworkings of ecosystems along the states’ shared river.

The Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries developed the map together with their Washington State peers in honor of Geologic Map Day, which takes place Friday the 17th.
