3478.
This I'm just posting because it's map, it's dear, it's sweet, it's nostalgic, and it's Oregon.
This is a map of the greater Portland-Salem area, the population and power center of my state, from an offical Oregon state map of 1971, from ODOT:
Everything in this is the landscape of my childhood. Even so, the city boundaries are somewhat out of date, even for them; Salem only had a population of around 68,000 (it's over 160,000 today); Gresham has topped 100K; all the city boundaries have expanded considerably.
But the roads are still largely in the same place. It's still Oregon, that's for sure.
