Few fairs of the period were drawn from above as this map shows, with the grounds laid out like a town seen from a hill. The Lewis and Clark Centennial and Oriental Fair opened in Portland in 1905 to mark a century since the Corps of Discovery reached the Pacific coast, and the "Oriental" part of the name reflected the fair's exhibits from Asia and the Pacific. Bird's-eye views like this one were a popular way for organizers to promote fairs, showing pavilions, paths, and waterways in one glance. Looking closely at the layout gives a sense of how much ground the fair needed and how it was arranged for visitors.
