About this map

Burnt Hickory Ridge and the winding course of Pumpkinvine Creek define this landscape along the border of Bartow and Paulding counties. The northern reaches are shaped by the Etowah River and industrial infrastructure such as CSX Transportation and the Cartersville Airport. The terrain is characterized by numerous small drainages like McEvers Branch and Little Pumpkinvine Creek, which flow through a mix of established rural settlements and newer developments.

Genealogists will find a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including the Lucas Family Cem, Douthit Family Cem, and Narroway Cem. Local spiritual centers such as Etowah Valley Baptist Church and the Chapel Holiness Church serve as landmarks for these communities. Small settlements like Crowville and Cross Roads are situated among a network of lakes including Benson Lake and Carnes Lake, reflecting a long history of rural land use transitioning into suburban Georgia.
