1916 Map of Tualatin

About this map

The Willamette River curves across the southern portion of this landscape, serving as a critical boundary and transportation artery between Clackamas and Marion Counties. The agricultural and early suburban character of the region is punctuated by an extensive network of schoolhouses, such as Hiteon School, Buckheaven School, and Chapman School, which anchored the small communities of the early twentieth century. Transportation is dominated by the Southern Pacific and Oregon Electric railroads, which facilitated the growth of towns like Beaverton, Tualatin, and Tigard.
