1961 Map of Oregon City
USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
The Willamette River and Clackamas River define the industrial and residential corridors of this region in the early 1960s. Oregon City sits as a primary hub, showing the historic Canemah district and the Mountain View Cem overlooking the river bends. To the north, the expanding suburbs of Portland reach through Arleta, Woodstock, and Milwaukie, while the Southern Pacific and Portland Traction Co rail lines track the water routes. The landscape transitions from the dense urban grid of Brooklyn to the large military installation at Camp Withycombe. Significant local infrastructure is noted throughout, including the McLoughlin Substation and various radio facilities such as Radio Facility (KEX). Farther south, the rural character remains evident in settlements like New Era and Central Point, where the Tualatin River meets the Willamette near Lake Oswego.
