Downtown Portland map near waterfront

Description

Undated map, used in planning for a city project to extend and enlarge SW Front Ave. Shaded areas along SW Front and Water Avenues indicate blocks where buildings were to be demolished to make way for the new highway. A handwritten note on the map states "Withhold building permits on shaded area." The highway that was eventually completed in 1942-1943 was named Harbor Drive.
