About this map

The confluence of the Oostanaula River and the Etowah River forms the Coosa River in the heart of Rome, establishing a historic river-hub geography. This survey documents the urban and institutional landscape of northern Floyd County, dominated by the expansive grounds of Berry College and the neighboring Shorter College. The terrain shifts from the developed streets of West Rome and Riverside to the prominent heights of Lavender Mountain, which separates the city from the Little Texas Valley.

Infrastructure like the Richard B Russell Regional Airport - J H Towers Field and the Fifth Avenue Bridge connect the various districts, while older landmarks like Nixons Bar and Hells Hollow hint at the area's local vernacular history. Numerous burial grounds, including the historic Myrtle Hill Cemetery and East View Cemetery, provide significant points of interest for genealogists tracing families in this established Georgia community.
