We use current regional planning models to chop the ecosystem into management units. We are working on representing these places in maps:

PSNERP has provided us with deltas, beaches and embayments, and offers a basis for identifying headlands. You can view these places using the Nearshore Portal
The watershed characterization project differentiates between headwaters and lowland watersheds within our big river systems, by defining watershed management units (commonly called sub-basins in salmon recovery planning.
The Floodplains by design project is taking a look at floodplains at a regional scale. Data layers defining floodplain units have not been released yet.

People define Place pages let people define place in ways that don't fit these 'management units'.
