About this map

The Tualatin Valley serves as a productive agricultural and educational corridor, anchoring the western edge of the Portland metropolitan area. This 2014 survey captures the established campuses of Pacific Univ in Forest Grove, alongside the neighboring communities of Cornelius, Hillsboro, and Carnation. The landscape is a mix of urban growth and rural infrastructure, evidenced by numerous small airfields such as Skyport Airport, Olinger Airpark, and the North Plains Gliderport.

Water management is central to the region's geography, with the Tualatin River winding through the south and the Council Reservoir and Verboort Reservoir supporting the surrounding farmland. Genealogists will find a high density of historic burial grounds, including the Union Point Cem, Hillsboro Pioneer Cem, and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem. The northern portion of the map transitions into the foothills of the Coast Range, where settlements like Banks, Wilkesboro, and Mountaindale are connected by the Sunset Hwy and the historic Banks Cr rail corridor.
