Special thanks go to Brian Johnson of the Stanley Parr Archives and Records Center and Elizabeth Winroth of the Oregon Historical Society for breaking with policy, and taking the time to personally transport the aerial photographs used in this thesis to my workplace, the BLM Oregon State Office, for scanning on a large format scanner, and waiting patiently. Henry Wolter, Jim Rounds and Greg Chan of the BLM all assisted in the process of acquiring and working with these images. Dr. Robert Johnston's research into the political history of Portland's eastside demonstrated to me the value of understanding past processes. What began as a notso-straightforward cartographic commission for his recently published book, and our voluminous correspondence as he explained the forces behind the patterns I was mapping, sparked an interest in the development of the city that has become my home. Of course, my greatest appreciation is reserved for my wife, Dr. Margie Fyfield, for her support as I worked towards this degree. Our promise to help one another complete our educations has taken nearly twenty years to come to fruition, but like many things that do not happen easily, it has been a worthy pursuit.
