About this map

The Columbia River serves as the focal point of this mid-1950s survey, marking the interstate border between Clark County, Washington, and Multnomah County, Oregon. On the northern shore, the industrial centers of Camas and Washougal are depicted alongside an Aluminum Plant and the extensive Camp Bonneville Military Reservation. To the south, the expansion of the Portland metropolitan area is evident in the development of Troutdale, Gresham, and Wood Village, connected by the Banfield Expressway and the Union Pacific railroad line.

Rural details are captured throughout the highlands, including the Norway Sch (Aban'd) and Grass Valley Sch (Aban'd), reflecting shifting demographics in the local school districts. Topography ranges from the river islands like McGuire Island and Reed Island to the prominent heights of Larch Mtn and Livingston Mtn. Notable local landmarks such as the Troutdale Airport and the S P & S RY tracks highlight the region's role as a transportation corridor between the mountains and the river valley.
