Portland: I-5 at Macadam
Portland straddles the Willamette River in northwestern Oregon, a position that established it as a river port and transportation centre. This part of South Portland follows the Interstate 5 corridor near Macadam Avenue, where freeway infrastructure runs between older riverside neighbourhoods and the Willamette’s west bank. The river flows north through the city toward the Columbia River, while bridges link downtown with the east side. Portland developed after its 1845 founding as a supply and shipping centre for the Willamette Valley. Its cultural identity is also expressed in independent businesses, notably Powell's City of Books, which occupies an entire city block in the Pearl District. Forest Park, one of the largest urban forests in the United States, extends along the hills west of the central city.

Bridges connect its central districts, including the Steel Bridge, a historic vertical-lift crossing that carries road, rail and light-rail traffic. Downtown, Powell’s City of Books fills an entire block and reflects the city’s longstanding literary life.

The Cascade Range and high desert define much of Oregon, shaping a state where forestry, farming, hydropower and outdoor recreation are central to regional life. The Columbia River forms much of its northern border, while the Willamette Valley supports fertile farmland between the Cascades and the Coast Range. Oregon’s Pacific shore is marked by long beaches, headlands and working coastal towns, and Crater Lake preserves the deep caldera of Mount Mazama in the south. Oregon City is associated with the historic end of the Oregon Trail, a reminder of the migration that transformed the nineteenth-century American West.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
