This stylized map is generated from 10-meter accuracy hillside elevations and features natural Earth shading to accurately depict elevation and vegetation. Its primary purpose is for showcase events, as an initial element for a study guide, or for eventual adaptation to large-format printing, rather than for routine, day-to-day study use. "Bubble" labels enhance readability. Download
This map highlights the most prominent Willamette Valley AVAs with maximum detail. It uses an overview map to show their location, rather than a detail map that zooms in on a smaller zone. The map also features custom-made 10-meter accuracy shaded hillsides for superior visual detail. Download
