Each year, the Washington Geological Survey (WGS) writes a proposal to the US Geological Survey to map several 7.5-minute quadrangles as part of their National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program called 'STATEMAP.' To ensure the societal relevance of the mapping, WGS convenes a varied group of stakeholders for consultation purposes in this process. The State Mapping Advisory Committee forms stakeholder consensus about the near-term, medium-term, and long-term mapping that is conducted in Washington State with the desire that the plan hopefully addresses the needs of each of the major stakeholder groups.

An internal DNR initiative grants the committee its authority.
