Summary

These data were released prior to the October 1, 2016 effective date for the USGS’s policy dictating the review, approval, and release of scientific data as referenced in USGS Survey Manual Chapter 502.8 Fundamental Science Practices: Review and Approval of Scientific Data for Release. This layer is an inventory of existing landslides deposits in the Little North Santiam River Basin, Oregon (2009). Each landslide deposit shown on this map has been classified according to a number of specific characteristics identified at the time recorded in the GIS database. The classification scheme was developed by the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (Burns and Madin, 2009). Several significant landslide characteristics recorded [...]

Purpose

This data set is one of 4 feature data sets included in a basin-wide landslide inventory. The landslide inventory is one of the essential data layers used to delineate regional landslide susceptibility. This landslide inventory is not regulatory, and revisions can happen when new information regarding landslides is found or future (new) landslides occur. Therefore, it is possible that landslides within the map area were not identified or occurred after the map was prepared. This landslide inventory is intended to provide users with basic information regarding landslides within the Little North Santiam River Basin. The geologic, terrain, and climatic conditions that led to slope failures in the past may provide clues to the locations and conditions of future slope failures, and it is intended that this map will provide useful information to develop regional landslide susceptibility maps, guide site-specific investigations for future developments, assist in regional planning, and mitigation of existing landslides.
