Surveying is the science of making precise measurements of
the Earth's surface with the aid of complex optical and electronic
instruments. Surveying and mapping is handled by the Engineering
Planning Division and is of vital importance for exploration,
preservation of natural resources, and land development within
Lake Oswego.
The Geographic
Information Services program is an integral part of
the Surveying and Mapping Division. It utilizes an integrated
system of computer hardware and software designed to efficiently
manage data related to positions on the Earth's surface.
Maps
produced by the Geographic Information System (GIS) are
available for purchase at Lake Oswego City Hall and are
available at the City's Map Center.
The City's CAD
Standards are also available on line.
The Survey Division has established a network of precise vertical control throughout the city. Click here for a description and index of these benchmarks or go directly to a map of the benchmarks.

King, Chief Surveyor, by e-mail
