WaterWatch Presents an Evening with Cartographer Daniel Coe

Stop by the Portland Filson store at 536 NW 13th Ave. on Tuesday, Feb. 25th, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. for a special evening with cartographer Daniel Coe, who has designed maps for National Geographic, High Country News, Atlas Obscura, and American Scientist, and who provided the striking LiDAR cover image of a portion of the Wild and Scenic stretch of the Rogue River on the cover of the newsletter.

A remote sensing technique that uses laser pulses to create three-dimensional models of the earth's surface, LiDAR can be used to create stunning, detailed images of rivers and floodplains. These depictions, which straddle the boundary of art and science, often reveal previously unseen channels where rivers have flowed in the past. Daniel will discuss the making of that image and show several additional river graphics from Oregon and around the world, while exploring the stories behind these distinctive maps.

This event will be held on the first floor showroom of the Portland Filson store, which does require the use of several steps to access the storefront from some portions of the street. There is no parking lot for the facility. Street parking is limited, so be prepared to walk one or more blocks to attend, or utilize public transportation. Daniel has provided one (1) 12 x 18 print for WaterWatch to raffle off at the event, though he will also have his own materials for sale for those interested.
