2017 Map of Rockmart South

About this map

Rockmart and the historic settlement of Van Wert anchor the northern landscape of this region where Polk, Paulding, and Haralson counties converge. The terrain is defined by prominent ridges like Signal Mtn and Paris Mtn, which overlook a network of creek valleys and small upland reservoirs. The southern portion of the map traces the headwaters of the Tallapoosa River as it winds through a patchwork of rural roads and woodland. Genealogists will find several notable burial sites including Beulah Cem, Holly Springs Cem, and the Ezell B Garner Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the area's long-established communities. This survey documents the modern layout of the Morgan Valley corridor and the surrounding hills before further suburban development from the Atlanta metropolitan area reached these quiet reaches of Northwest Georgia.
