2014 Map of Damascus

About this map

The Clackamas River winds through the southern reaches of this landscape, defining the transition from the suburban margins of Portland and Gresham to the more rural unincorporated communities of Damascus and Barton. The 2014 terrain is characterized by a series of prominent rises including Gresham Butte and Grant Butte, separated by fertile lowlands like Pleasant Valley and Sunshine Valley. This era shows a well-established road network connecting historic hubs such as Boring and Carver, alongside recreational conversions like the Springwater Corridor trail system. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including Gresham Pioneer Cem, Escobar Cem, and Damascus Cem, which reflect the long-standing pioneer heritage of eastern Multnomah and northern Clackamas counties.
