The Oregon Plant Atlas is an on-line resource for displaying distributions of plants
growing without cultivation in Oregon. The Atlas creates maps "on the fly" from data
maintained by the Oregon Flora Project and the Oregon State University Herbarium. To
use the Atlas, simply select the plant species, subspecies, or variety you wish to map.
Options are available for selecting background maps and restricting mapping to a range of
years or observations by a particular person. For details on how the Atlas works and on
using its features, press the Help button at the bottom of the page. Visit
www.oregonflora.org
to learn more about the Oregon Plant Atlas Project. To start using the Atlas, press
the Map Options Form button. Enjoy!
Please click here if you experience any of the following problems:
Clicking on the Map Options Form button produces an error alert.
The Map Options Form button fails to appear (with or without an error alert).
Atlas features, such as printing, fail to work.
NOTES:
The Atlas is a Java applet. As such, it works on various platforms. However, at the present time, the Atlas is known to work
best on Windows. Mac and Unix users should expect minor text layout and clipping problems in Atlas forms. Safari users may
experience several problems with the Map Results Window. First, location dots may be misplaced on maps the first time a given
basemap is displayed. To correct the problem, exit the map and create the map a second time. Second, clicking on location dots
may not work. This problem arises from dots being drawn too large by Java. To resolve the problem, click in the upper left
portion of the dots.
This version of the Atlas has Copy buttons in certain windows that provide clipboard (i.e. copy/paste) support. If you
wish to use the Copy buttons, click here to learn how to activate them.
