1981 Map of Rome
USGS Topo · Published 1982About this map
Rome sits at the confluence of the Oostanaula River and Etowah River, forming the headwaters of the Coosa River in this detailed look at Northwest Georgia and Northeast Alabama. The landscape is dominated by the long, parallel ridges of Lookout Mountain and Sand Mountain, which guide the path of the Southern Railway and Louisville & Nashville RR through the valleys. The expansive Weiss Lake reservoir serves as a major geographical anchor in the west, while protected lands like Chattahoochee National Forest and De Soto State Park preserve the high-elevation terrain. This map captures the region's complex transportation network connecting industrial centers like Gadsden and Cedartown with smaller communities like Cave Spring and Fort Payne during the early 1980s.
