Damascus

Tucked into northwest Georgia’s Ridge and Valley country near the Conasauga River, Damascus is a place whose character is shaped by low parallel ridges, wooded slopes and fertile river valleys of the southern Appalachians. The community stands in the Resaca area, where the Battle of Resaca was fought in May 1864 during the Atlanta Campaign of the American Civil War. The Conasauga joins the Coosawattee River nearby to form the Oostanaula River, linking this quiet rural setting to a wider north Georgia waterway. Rural roads, farmland and Civil War geography define the area more than urban bustle. Browse other webcams across northwest Georgia to place this setting in a wider geographic context.
