2017 Map of Mount Tabor

About this map

Mt Tabor and the surrounding neighborhoods of East Portland and Vancouver define this 2017 landscape, split by the massive flow of the Columbia River. The map meticulously details the urban transformation of the area, showing the established residential grids of Laurelhurst, Montavilla, and Hollywood as they interface with major transit corridors like NE Sandy Blvd. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several prominent burial grounds, including the Fisher Cem and Columbia Masonic Cem. The river's character is evidenced by a complex system of islands and bars, such as Government Island and Lemon Island, which sit between the bustling Portland International Airport and the Washington shoreline. This survey captures a modern metropolitan environment still shaped by its prominent volcanic buttes, with Rocky Butte standing as a significant landmark overlooking the Columbia Slough.
