2014 Map of Burnt Hickory Ridge

About this map

Burnt Hickory Ridge anchors this landscape where the borders of Bartow and Paulding counties meet, documenting a mix of established rural communities and growing residential pockets in the early 21st century. The Etowah River flows across the northern edge near the Cartersville Airport, while the southern reaches are defined by the winding tributaries of Pumpkinvine Creek. This survey is particularly useful for genealogical research, identifying numerous family and congregational burial grounds such as the Lucas Family Cem, Douthit Family Cem, and Mt Moriah Cem. Settlement patterns follow the historic corridors of the Cartersville Hwy and Old Alabama Rd SW, connecting small locales like Crowville, Oak Hill, and Indian Valley. The George H McMillan Bridge serves as a notable landmark over the central creek system, marking the intersection of local infrastructure and the natural drainage of the Georgia Piedmont.
