About this map

Hillsboro serves as the focal point of this Washington County landscape, where the urban grid meets the agricultural reaches of the Tualatin Valley. The map documents the city's relationship with the Tualatin River and Jackson Bottom, showing a developed core that transitions into smaller settlements like Orenco and Reedville. Transportation remains a central theme, evidenced by the presence of the Portland-Hillsboro Airport and the B N Junction, which mark the area's ongoing role as a regional hub for commerce and travel.

Rural heritage is preserved in the northern sections, where community identity is tied to landmarks like the Helvetia Cemetery and the West Union Cemetery. The terrain is defined by a network of waterways including McKay Creek and Rock Creek, which drain the northern hills toward the valley floor. Notable local features such as the Washington County Fairgrounds and The Streets of Tanasbourne illustrate the mix of traditional civic spaces and modern residential developments that characterize this era of Oregon's growth.
