1905 Map of Portland

About this map

The Columbia River and Willamette River converge in this detailed turn-of-the-century study of the growing Pacific Northwest. This survey captures Portland and Vancouver as they emerged as primary regional hubs, linked by the Northern Pacific RR and the Pacific RR. While the urban cores of University Park and Portland Heights are clearly defined, the landscape still reflects an era of heavy river commerce and industry, noted by sawmill sites and the Vancouver Barracks.
