Mapping Portland in the 1830s

Learn about the city of Portland in the 1830s—through maps—with our colleagues Dr. Libby Bischof and Louis Miller. They will utilize John Cullum’s 1836 Map of the City of Portland with Latest Improvements to explore our historic city. This unique, full color, early map shows the community centers and development patterns of the city before trains changed everything.
