About this map

Sandy River currents shape the northern boundary of this 1961 survey, where the waterway winds past Indian John Island near the Multnomah and Clackamas county line. The landscape is defined by a dense network of named roads and small agricultural hubs including Orient, Pleasant Home, and Cottrell. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the town of Sandy serves as a focal point near Pioneer Park and Tickle Creek.

Educational life is captured through the locations of Union High Sch and Cottrell Sch, while the rural infrastructure is evidenced by the numerous family-named routes such as Lusted Road, Harris Road, and Dunn Road. The map also details the area near Boring and Kelso, revealing a mid-century pattern of timbered hills and creek valleys that still feel distinct from the expanding metropolitan areas to the west.
