This is a great portable map of the general area. It has nice detail of downtown. It is waterproof. It folds and unfolds easily. You can definitely use it while driving or walking downtown and you don't want to unfold some giant thing. It lists all of the stops of the MAX light-rail. It is not a detailed map of every street in the area but it shows you the major roads and highways in the area and good detail of downtown. It even tells you which are one-way streets and which direction they go, the numbers for freeway exits, and points out some highlights like the Japanese Gardens and Powells City of Books. If you want a detailed map of the entire area I suggest "The Thomas Guide 2006 Portland, Oregon: Street Guide (Portland Metro Area Street Guide and Directory)". The Thomas Guide is not good for a quick overview of the area but it details every little tiny road and between it and a phone book you can find anything. I recommend getting both.

I have a couple of these Streetwise Maps now and find them a joy to use. In Portland there are a few streets I can't find, so an index of some kind would be good. But generally they are so easy to work with - no complicating folding schemes - that I would recommend getting one today. I also have an Artwise Map of London by the same company. Terrific!

This map is missing many many streets both in the index and the actual map. I agree its OK for walking around the metro area,
but if you're doing some serious 'locating' such as house or
apartment hunting then get the Rand McNally Portland EasyFinder.
It, too, is lamenated ISBN 0-528-99102-7

I have been a fan of the "Streetwise" calendars for years -- a folding laminated city map that always folds nicely, stays firm and fits easily in pockets, purses, etc.

On the reverse side, it also has a wider regional map, which is helpful to put your travels into context, especially if you use the map alongside tour books that often point out destinations outside the downtown region.

This is a laminated, card stock map that fits easily in a pocket. Very easy to manage. Amazing detail for its' size.

This map was perfect!! So helpful for navigating a city I've never been to before. Easy to read, has a MAX light rail map AND it's laminated! This map definitely got rained on while we were in Portland so I appreciated that it was laminated.

I like these laminated, folding maps. They have good detail and fit in a purse. Never go out without one.

I recently moved to SE Portland so I bought this map to help me get around. Unfortunately, it cuts off about 10 blocks north of my neighborhood (Sellwood/Westmoreland). Waste of $ for me and I had to buy another map that was more complete.

Gret map. Very detailed. Well laminated. Easy to carry in your pocket.

This is a good and inexpensive resource for Portland. It easily folds up to fit in a small purse or pocket. It is also waterproof and easy to read.
