Grab a Cool LIDAR Map of the Chehalis River from DNR...It's FREE

Do you love freebies?  Then take a look at this neat LIDAR* map of the Chehalis River floodplain from Washington State's Department of Natural Resources (DNR).



The map even shows abandoned river channels, a prime place to look for ancient gold deposits, which are often some of the richest.

Grab your copy of the full-resolution map at the link here, or read the original press release from DNR here.

And, as always, be sure to follow the prospecting rules as outlined in the Gold and Fish Pamphlet and don't go onto private property without the owner's permission.

Have fun!

*LIDAR stands for Light Detection and Ranging, which is a remote sensing method that uses a pulsed laser to examine the surface of the earth.  See here for more information.
