Portland, as a major river and rail hub in the Pacific Northwest, was often highlighted for its strategic position between inland industry and coastal trade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1523\" data-end=\"1766\"\u003eMaps such as this one were intended as informational tools rather than decorative objects.
