Back when REI was more worried about outdoor recreation then virtue signalling to people who never get their boots muddy
Hilarious!
Very true. In Portland, it's more likely to be bum poo than mud.And true, at least until you have to walk through mud to get to Starbucks - a strong potential, though, when Portland's tax and social policies make it the next Detroit.
Good advise up there^^^^^.
In addition, couple more things to add. I've bought full Delorme books for both Oregon and Washington. They slide into the pocket on the back of the vehicle seat and stay out of the way. So sweet when you need one to have it for where ever you are and you can pop it out, flip a few pages and find your way. Looks like this:

Here's a link to get you started if you so choose. Oregon DeLorme Atlas: Road Maps, Topography and More! they are smaller than the USGS stuff, but easy to store and available when you drive too far and need the next topo over I don't recall paying $25 each, look around you may find cheaper.
I will note that the Gaia ap will do the same thing, except on a smart phone, much better and cheaper (as long as you have battery life). It will tell you where you are and where you are heading. (and how far you've walked etc etc). https://www.gaiagps.com/
I haven't used a topo since I bought the Gaia Ap. I have the basic one, and it really works good for what I want to do. Worth looking at for sure. If you don't think you'll have internet (you won't) you download the maps for those areas you want in advance and it uses the GPS satellites and your phones nav system. Good stuff.
Good luck!
