Lidar coverage

Lidar projects that cover Vale, from the USGS 3DEP index and DOGAMI’s project records. Other parts of the county may come from other projects; the coverage guide explains how to check any spot.

Coverage details are temporarily unavailable.

Property boundaries

The county assessor’s parcel service for Malheur County is not available in the Property tool yet, so taxlots cannot be selected here. Draw your area on the map instead; the parcel lines overlay still shows taxlot lines.
