The Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition opened in Portland, Oregon, in June 1905 to mark a century since the expedition reached the Pacific coast. This bird's-eye map shows the fairgrounds as an observer high above would have seen them, with buildings, walkways and open grounds laid out across the site. Perspective maps like this were a common promotional tool at expositions of the period, helping visitors picture the layout before they arrived. Worth noticing is how the drawing turns a temporary fairground into a clear, orderly plan.
