About this map

Oswego Lake and its surrounding residential communities anchor this detailed 2020 study of the southern Portland metropolitan area. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Willamette River, which separates Milwaukie and Oak Grove on the east bank from the affluent enclaves of Dunthorpe and Lake Oswego on the west. This modern era shows a highly developed suburban corridor where major educational institutions like Lewis and Clark College, Reed College, and Marylhurst University are integrated into the hilly terrain.

Prominent landforms such as Council Crest and Marquam Hill rise above the city, while the river is dotted with features like Ross Island and Elk Rock Island. The map meticulously records the complex interface of multiple jurisdictions, showing where the boundaries of Multnomah, Washington, and Clackamas counties meet. Extensive cemetery grounds, including Riverview Cem and Greenwood Hill Cem, represent significant open spaces amidst the dense network of neighborhoods like Bridlemile, Hillsdale, and Burlingame.
