About this map

The Salamonie River and its numerous tributaries, including the Little Salamonie River and Race Run, define the landscape surrounding the city of Portland. This mid-century view shows a regional center balancing agricultural roots with industrial and civic growth. The city core is anchored by the Court House and City Hall, while its periphery includes essential 1960s landmarks like the Drive-in Theater and the Portland Municipal Airport.

Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed placement of the Green Park Cemetery, Jaqua Cem, and the rural Liber Cem. Beyond the city limits, the landscape is dotted with local institutions such as Haynes Sch, Miller Sch, and the Little Salamonie Ch. Smaller outlying settlements like Antiville, Liber, and Brice are well-documented, alongside specialized features like the County Home and the John Cring Memorial Forest north of town.
