Portland, Design City USA, is what it could be called due to the energy, vitality, and overall positive state of mind found in this Northwest City. The city sits at the junction of two great rivers, the Columbia and the Willamette, and is surrounded by forests and vast stretches of greenery. That may not last as Portland is one of the fastest growing cities in the US. Go now and enjoy the greenery! The STREETWISE® map of Portland Oregon is the tool you'll need to navigate in and around Portland. Looking at the main map you'll see the Willamette River divides the city into two major districts known as East side and West side. The West side is where the central business district is located as well as Old Town, and the Pearl District, which is trés hip and chic. The East side is mainly residential with a dash of trendy commercial retail mixed in.

The inset map of Downtown Portland shows an orderly grid system on which we provide hotels, points of interest, museums and educational sites. Our Portland Area map will navigate you in and around the region to such places as Portland International Airport, and the Mount Hood inset map. You ll be able to take a day trip from the center of Portland to the Mt. Hood recreation area. Add in our Max Light Rail map and you are now empowered to master all the delights Portland has to offer. A complete index of streets, hotels, points of interest, shopping, education, culture, transportation and parks is clearly listed on the STREETWISE® Portland Oregon Map.
