1940 Map of Portland
USGS Topo · Published 1940About this map
The Columbia River serves as the primary artery of this 1940 survey, separating Vancouver from Portland at a time of significant aviation and infrastructure growth. This map captures the region's diverse landscape, from the industrial docks of the Willamette River to the agricultural reaches of Fourth Plains. The importance of military and civil aviation is evident, with Vancouver Barracks anchored near Pearson Field while the Portland Columbia Airport and Port of Portland Airport on Swan Island show the era's expanding flight network.
