Atlas of Oregon

The Atlas of Oregon, Second Edition is an authoritative and beautiful reference volume that offers a detailed look at the history, human geography, physical landscape, and the people of Oregon. More than 700 maps are complemented by data graphics and informative text exploring everything from the earliest settlers to the rise of Oregon vineyards to Portland’s traffic jams. The Atlas is a staple in homes and offices throughout the state, and continues to serve as a relevant reference guide to newcomers, researchers, students, and more. The Atlas was published in 2001, and to this day remains a flagship model of atlas design and production.

“The Atlas of Oregon, Second Edition, is a tour-de-force in cartography and design. Packed with fascinating information, it’s also a feast for the eye, full of meticulously executed maps aglow with color and enhanced with vivid graphic detail. This book will be admired and imitated for years to come for its scholarship, utility, and beauty.”
