Jordan encompasses what was Eretz Sichon and Og, Amon, Moab and Edom. Sichon and Og were captured by Moshe, which became the Ever Hayarden where the 21/2 shevatim settled was Eretz Sichon and Og. It’s the immediate other side of the Yarden, North of Yam Hamelach.
Amon, Moab, Edom were not part of Kibush Yehoshua or Moshe. Bnei Yisroel were not allowed to make war with them, and had to go around them until they reached the lands of Sichon and Og.
Petra is in what was once Edom, which is south of Yam Hamelach.
Amman is in what was Amon- it used to be known as Rabat-Amon.
Damesek was in Aram, much more to the North. I believe that Dovid Hamelech capture Aram at one point, but I don’t think it ever achieved the kedusha of E”Y.
