Township/Range/Section Maps

by Water Resource Inventory (WRIA)

(select by clicking a map area)

Map Information:

• All maps are for individual Water Resource Inventory Areas (WRIA).
• Township/Range/Section GIS data available from Washington State Department of Natural Resources
• All maps are formatted to the same page size either 8.5 x 11 or 11 x 8.5 inches.
• All TRS maps have been produced with no extra geographic information and with a "no color" watershed area background. This facilitates printing on clear acetate so the maps can be used for "overlay" purposes. If you use transparencies, remember to select paper type as "transparency" on your printer!
• Local geographic information such as roads and route numbers, city and place names and stream names are provided on the WRIA Major Public Lands maps.
• All maps are available in Adobe PDF format. JPG or EPS file format, are available by request.
• A graphical locator for township/section/range:  http://www.esg.montana.edu/gl/trs-data.html
