Description

This detailed street map of Portland, Oregon was designed by the Pittmon Map Company and published locally in 1950 by the Oregon Blue Print Company. It highlights in red the bus and operational interurban lines of the Portland Traction Company. The latter segment of the firm was in steep decline. All passenger routes would be abandoned by the end of the decade. Freight service handled through the Terminal Division, discussed briefly in a text box in the center-left, remained profitable in the postwar years. A comprehensive street index and index map of the business section of Portland can be found on the verso.
