1961 Map of Portland
USGS Topo · Published 1962About this map
Vanport City (Site) appears as a poignant reminder of the 1948 flood on this early 1960s survey, marking where a major wartime housing development once stood along the Columbia River. The urban landscape is dense with mid-century development, from the industrial activity at the Swan Island Basin and Guild Lake Yard to the established residential grids of Albina, Irvington, and Alameda. The map documents a critical period for transportation infrastructure, showing the Banfield Expressway cutting through Sullivan Gulch and numerous river crossings like the Steel Bridge and Broadway Bridge connecting East Portland to the city center.
