1961 Map of Beaverton

About this map

Beaverton and the surrounding hillsides show a period of transition in the mid-1970s, as established agriculture and quarries met expanding suburban development. The landscape is defined by its topographic high points, including Cooper MTN, Sexton Mtn, and Bull Mountain, while the Tualatin River winds through the southern lowlands. Local institutional history is anchored by St Marys Boys Home and numerous parochial schools like St Cecilias Sch. Transportation corridors follow historic routes, with the Southern Pacific and Oregon Electric lines crossing the terrain. The map records several family-named landmarks and infrastructure such as the Schamberg Bridge and ELSNER Bridge, alongside industry markers like the Cipole Gravel Pit near Onion Flat.
