Sandy River watershed map

Explore the Sandy River Watershed through this Interactive Map created by students at Portland Community College The Sandy River is made up of many smaller rivers that begin high up on Mount Hood. These smaller rivers flow through the land and join each other, eventually becoming the Sandy River. People are connected to the Sandy River, the smaller rivers that flow into it, and all the land around them. There are many forms of recreation and places to play in the area, as well as communities where people live and work. The Sandy River and the rivers that flow into it are important for the health of our forests, salmon, and other wildlife. The area has been important to Native peoples since time immemorial and is also important to people that have come to the area more recently.
