Oreg. stands for Oregon, a US state traditional abbreviation.
Government Publishing Office abbreviation for Oregon, widely used in forestry, geology and other federal and scientific publications and on older maps of the Pacific Northwest. It is longer than AP's Ore. and The Bluebook's Or.
Example: Data were collected at a forestry research site near Corvallis, Oreg., between 1990 and 2005.
Usage notes
US Forest Service and US Geological Survey reports long followed GPO style, so Oreg. is common in technical bibliographies. Mail uses OR. Researchers searching old documents should try all three forms.
