2020 Map of Rock Mountain

About this map

Simms Mountain and Lavender Mtn dominate the landscape northwest of Rome, creating a series of enclosed valleys where agricultural communities such as Big Texas Valley and Little Texas Valley have long persisted. The 2020 terrain shows a topography defined by steep ridges and tactical gaps like Kitchen Gap and Fouche Gap, which have historically funneled local transit between the rugged highlands and the drainage of Heath Creek. These valleys are dotted with ancestral markers, including the Antioch Cem and Sand Springs Cem, while the southern reaches near Coosa and Krannert show a more developed industrial and suburban footprint. The presence of Berry Reservoir and several small catchments like Glovers Lake and Peacock Lake reflects the region's managed water resources nestled within the northern Chattahoochee National Forest boundaries.
