USGS Topo · Published 1970About this map
Vancouver and Portland dominate this early 1960s landscape, illustrating the intense mid-century development along the Columbia River and Willamette River. This survey captures the region just years after the catastrophic 1948 flood, noting the Vanport City (Site) where a major wartime housing project once stood. The industrial and transportation nexus is evident through the massive expansion of the Portland International Airport and the complex rail network of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads.
