About this map

Cedartown serves as the primary urban center in this survey, where the Polk County Courthouse stands near the terminus of the Norfolk Southern rail line. The landscape transitions from the developed streets of the county seat toward the northwest, moving through the communities of Etna Valley and Chubbtown. Local history is preserved in several family and community burial grounds, including Hemphill Cem and Sanders Cem, which are interspersed among the ridges and hollows such as Dardy Hollow.

Water resources are a defining characteristic of the region, ranging from the prominent Cave Spring and Cedartown Spring to several man-made impoundments. Smaller water bodies like Kirkpatrick Lake, Smith Lake, and Hunts Lake dot the central terrain between the major settlements. The path of Little Cedar Cr weaves through the valley, flanked by a network of rural routes like Old Cedartown Rd and Cave Spring Cedartown Rd SW that connect these agricultural and residential pockets.
