Google Earth View of the

Northwest Forest Plan's

Key Watersheds

now available from the

Coast Range Association

Google Earth view of Tillamook and its surrounding landscape. Key watershed area of the Wilson River is tinted blue.

1. Make sure you have the Google Earth program installed on your computer or the CRA’s special files will not work. Google Earth doesn’t come with computer systems so, if you haven’t used it you don’t have it. The program is a simple download from Google Earth. Here’s the link

.

Possible issues with Google Earth and your computer:
To use Google Earth you must have a graphics card that handles 3-D graphics. Many computers will see the tinted areas as a solid color. Go to Google Earth’s Tools (top left of screen) and select Options. Select 3D View and change the Graphics Mode from OpenGL to DirectX. See what happens.

2. Down load the special CRA key watershed-Google Earth file from the link below. Save the file to your computer or open it directly. Once openned, the file will be saved in your Google Earth viewer.
