About this map

Lake Oswego and the Willamette River anchor this 2017 study of the southern Portland metropolitan area, where the complex geography of islands, peninsulas, and ridges has long shaped residential development. The map details the established neighborhoods of Sellwood, Eastmoreland, and Hillsdale, while highlighting the transition from urban Portland to the suburban enclaves of Dunthorpe and Oak Grove. Several significant historical sites are documented, including the sprawling Riverview Cem and Greenwood Hill Cem, alongside the early Jewish burial grounds of Beth Israel Cem and Ahavai Sholom Cem.

Natural landmarks like Council Crest and Marquam Hill provide topographic context for the winding road networks of West Slope and Bridlemile. Further south, the map traces the Oswego Canal and the Tualatin River, illustrating the hydraulic connections that defined the region's early industry. From the river islands like Ross Island and Hardtack Island to the peaks of Mt Sylvania and Cooks Butte, this survey captures the intersection of Pacific Northwest terrain and modern infrastructure.
