1940 Map of Portland
USGS Topo · Published 1940About this map
The Columbia River and Willamette River serve as the central arteries for this 1940 tactical map, detailing the urban and industrial development of Portland and Vancouver just before the major industrial mobilization of the early 1940s. The landscape is dotted with early aviation history, including the Swan Island Airport of Portland and the Pearson Field at the historic Vancouver Barracks. North of the rivers, the rural character of Clark County remains visible through the numerous local schoolhouses such as Pleasant Valley School and Walnut School, alongside the sprawling Fourth Plains.
