Some roads in Portland have directional designations, SW, NW etc. Where are the dividing lines?
The Willamette River serves as the east and west division. Burnside serves as north or south. The names of streets may change as they pass from one community into another. For example, Hwy 43 runs from north to south along the Willamette River. In Portland it’s also know as Macadam Ave. In the Dunthorpe area it’s known as SW Riverside Dr. In Lake Oswego it’s North State St. then south State St. and in West Linn it’s Willamette Dr.
