About this map

Beaverton and Tigard anchor this 1984 revision of the Tualatin Valley, documenting a period of rapid suburban intensification alongside long-established institutions. The map highlights significant land uses such as the St Marys Boys Home and the sprawling Tualatin Country Club. The transition from rural agriculture to residential development is evident in the purple-tinted urban updates, yet the landscape remains defined by its natural topography, including Bull Mountain and the low-lying Onion Flat near the Tualatin River.

Transportation corridors including the Southern Pacific and Oregon Electric railroads intersect the valley, connecting communities like Aloha, Metzger, and Garden Home. For local historians, the inclusion of community landmarks such as Crescent Grove Cem, Merle Davies Sch, and the Portland Hunt Club provides a detailed look at the social and civic infrastructure of Washington County during the mid-1980s.
