Welcome to The Living Atlas
A Story of Water, Place, and Us
The Living Atlas is a collection of interactive maps that highlight different parts of the watershed and surrounding communities. It lets you explore how environmental resources, climate risks, infrastructure, and other factors interact across the region. The Living Atlas is a tool to help you better understand the places you live, work, and care about within the watershed.
Our past is always with us—especially in our relationships with water, land, and one another.
Understanding where we've been helps us shape where we’re going.
The Living Atlas is more than just maps—it’s a living repository of stories, insights, and observations from people who know this region intimately. Through personal narratives and contributions to our Alliance Watershed Observation app, the Living Atlas reflects both data and lived experience.​​​​​
​You can explore the full version of the map here. The button above will open a new window where you can interact with the map—click on features, toggle layers on and off, and zoom into specific areas of interest.
Once the map loads, click the layers icon (three stacked papers) on the left-hand side to view available layers. Use the eye icon to toggle individual maps on and off. If you don’t see the icon, try expanding the menu.
Looking for a quicker snapshot? A simplified version of the map is available at the bottom of this page, highlighting key features like wetlands, boundaries, and scavenger hunt observations.
