| Mission
The
Portland State University Cartographic Center is a community resource
for projects involving geographic inventory, spatial analysis, map
production, and scientific visualization. Cartographic
Center projects provide practical experience for students by allowing
them to work on real-world technical and analytical problems under
the supervision of faculty. As such, the Center is an important
extension of the academic and community service missions of the
University.
