The map below shows the Colville National Forest in Washington State. Draw shapes on the map to represent places where you prefer certain land use types, select any values that you associate with those spaces, and add comments. Land use types that you indicate as 'No', (ex. 'No Recreation'), will appear outlined in red.

Instructions

2. To draw a polygon, select the polygon tool and single-click on the map to add vertices. Double click to finish the drawing. To draw a rectangle, select the rectangle tool and click and drag on the map. Release the click to end the drawing.
3. A popup box will appear when you complete your drawing. Select a land use type (required) and any values (optional) that you attribute to the space from the drop-downs. You can also add a comment.
