Answers

Oregon towns list: reader questions

Which Oregon places have a town page?

Incorporated cities and towns of 1,000 or more and Census-designated places of 2,500 or more.

How are miles measured?

As a straight line from the Census point of the place to the lake, launch or dock.

No page for my town yet; what now?

Open its county page or type the town into the find box on the Oregon page.

Are Portland, Salem and Eugene included?

Yes, each with its nearest lakes, launches, rivers and shops.

Do coast towns list bays and jetties?

Yes; Astoria, Newport, Coos Bay, Brookings and the other coast towns list the closest bays, docks and launches.

Do town pages show river flow?

The nearest river pages carry live USGS flow, one click away.

Why is a town printed without a link?

Oregon town pages roll out in batches, and the name gains its link when that page publishes.

Can I browse by water instead?

Yes, on the Oregon A to Z of every water.
