1975 Map of Beaverton

About this map

The growing suburban landscape of Beaverton and its neighboring communities is captured in this orthophotoquad, based on aerial photography from the mid-1970s. This specific type of survey combines the visual detail of an aerial photograph with the geometric accuracy of a topographic map, revealing the intricate patterns of residential expansion and existing agricultural land. The Tualatin River meanders across the southern portion of the sheet, providing a sharp contrast between the densely gridded streets of Tigard and the remaining open fields along the riverbanks. To the northeast, the communities of West Slope and Metzger show the established residential layout that characterized the region during this period of significant development in Washington County.
