1897 Map of Portland
USGS Topo · Published 1897About this map
The Portland and Vancouver urban centers dominate this late-19th-century survey, revealing the intricate geography of the Columbia-Willamette confluence before the landscape was heavily reshaped by modern industry. The map illustrates a dense network of river commerce and rail lines, including the Northern Pacific Railroad and the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Co., which converged to serve the growing regional economy. On the Washington side, the Vancouver Barracks stands as a prominent military presence overlooking the Columbia River.
