The
Damascus area is an unincorporated community located approximately
6 miles east of the I-205 Freeway in northwest Clackamas County and
approximately 12 miles southeast of downtown Portland. The project
study area will include approximately 15,300 acres and portions of
four watersheds: Rock Creek, Richardson Creek, Johnson Creek and Deep
Creek in the Damascus area. The area is bounded on the north and west
by the existing UGB and on the south by the Clackamas River. The eastern
boundary follows the eastern edges (near 257th Avenue) of Johnson
Creek and Deep Creek watersheds. |
