In the world of water law, we often receive calls from clients and potential clients that live many miles away from our Portland office, and sometimes hundreds of miles from the nearest major airport. In many cases, a site visit to the client’s land is necessary to get a lay of the land, or a sense of the facts on the ground. But the reality is that a site visit isn’t always practical right away. In those cases, a resource like Google Earth can be invaluable. And when the land you are looking for is far away from any urban center, a little tool that we found at www.earthpoint.us is a great time saver. With Earth Point you can enter a Township and Range and it will fly you the appropriate place on Google Earth. There are also some other options on the site that look equally useful.
