Note: This is the same “mini-map” of streetcar lines that was included on the large Pittmon maps of Portland for almost two decades, it’s just from the accompanying guide book in this instance. As this map was published with only minimal changes over a long period of time, it’s not to be totally relied upon by itself – for example, the short-lived Maryland Avenue stub line off the Russell-Shaver line continues to appear on the map despite being abandoned in 1915! However, the list of routes from the guide book as transcribed below should be more accurate. The date of April 16, 1924 comes from the earliest newspaper advertisement for this edition found so far.
The above diagram of car lines shows at a glance the relative position of one line to another. Above the line appears the car sign letter followed by the name of line. Below the line appears name of street on which car runs.
