Geomorphic Floodplain with Organic Matter (Biomass) Estimates for Fanno Creek, Oregon

Fanno Creek is a tributary to the Tualatin River and flows though parts of the southwest Portland metropolitan area. The stream is heavily influenced by urban runoff and shows characteristic flashy streamflow and poor water quality commonly associated with urban streams. This data set represents the geomorphic floodplain as derived from light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data and aerial photographic imagery. The floodplain represents current conditions including both anthropogenic alterations and natural historic floodplain features.

The floodplain dataset is divided into 13 reach segments and attributed with corresponding organic material load estimates for each reach.
