1916 Map of Tualatin

About this map

The Tualatin River snakes across a landscape defined by burgeoning early 20th-century agriculture and transportation, shortly before the suburbanization of the Portland area. The map reveals a dense network of early schools such as St Pauls School and Parrott Mtn School, serving a rural population clustered around crossings like Boones Ferry and Gearns Ferry. These ferry sites, alongside the Champoeg Monument, underscore the importance of the river corridor in Oregon's pioneer history.
