The figures, 2026

Every distance below is a straight line from the city centre to the coordinate the federal names register publishes for that place. It is not a driving distance — there is no road network in this data — and a city centre is a point where a city is not, so treat each figure as an ordering rather than an itinerary.

Questions

What waterfalls are near Portland?

12 of the named falls covered here lie within 60 miles of Portland, the nearest being Willamette Falls at 12 miles from the city centre.

Is this a driving distance?

No. It is the straight-line distance between two published coordinates. A road route is longer, sometimes much longer in mountains, and no road data exists in this site to compute one from.

Why 60 miles?

It is a stated radius rather than a discovered one: roughly a day trip out and back. A place at 61 miles is not absent from this site, only from this page — it appears on its own page and on its county's.

Does this page rank or recommend these places?

No, and deliberately. It carries distances, which are computable from two published coordinates, and it orders places by that distance and nothing else. Any judgement about a place would need a source this site does not hold, and it is left out rather than invented.

Method and sources
