1941 Map of Oregon City
USGS Topo · Published 1941About this map
Oregon City and the dramatic Willamette Falls anchor this survey, which captures the industrial and residential development of the Lower Willamette Valley just before the United States entered World War II. The landscape is defined by its complex transportation network, including the Southern Pacific and Oregon Electric Line, alongside major thoroughfares like the Pacific Highway East. Beyond the urban centers of Portland and Milwaukie Heights, the map reveals a dense fabric of rural life through numerous named educational institutions such as Petes Mountain School, Echo Dell School, and Harmony School. Notable landmarks like Camp Withycombe and the Veterans Hosp reflect the institutional footprint in the area, while the curious Ten O'clock Church in the southeast corner provides a unique touch of local history for genealogists.
