1939 Map of Oregon City

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Willamette River flows through the heart of this 1930s landscape, serving as the industrial and transit spine connecting Portland and Oregon City. The map documents a period when the river was flanked by an intricate network of rail lines, including the Southern Pacific, Portland Electric Power Co, and Oregon Electric. On the eastern bank, Sellwood and Milwaukie are well established, while the southern reaches near Canby and Barlow remain largely agricultural, dotted with local landmarks like Linns Mill and the Ten O'clock Church.
