Portland OR Rand McNally

Portland in Oregon on an indexed street plan from Rand McNally in their extensive range of maps covering cities in the United States. An inset shows downtown Portland in greater detail and another panel provides a road map of the Greater Portland area. Communities covered by this map include Beaverton, Gresham, Happy Valley, Lake Oswego, Milwaukie, Tigard, Troutdale, Tualatin and West Linn.NEW STREET PLAN CARTOGRAPHY FROM RAND McNALLY: Rand McNally are currently changing the cartography of their street plans to a more ‘œEuropean” style. In many titles streets are now shown by parallel lines, providing a much clearer, easier to read presentation. Better use of colouring indicates different types of land use and/or institutions (parks, shopping centres, academic institutions, etc) and, in most titles, different administrative units. More streets are annotated with block numbers. Some new editions still retain the traditional American presentation of streets by a single line, but with more prominent marking for various institutions, facilities and places of interest. Our cartography sample indicates which style is used in this title.COVERAGE: Rand McNally street plans cover cities with their outer suburbs, prominently highlighting principal traffic arteries and connecting main streets. Railway and subway stations are marked.
