About this map

The confluence of the Etowah River and Oostanaula River forms the Coosa River in this detailed survey of Floyd County. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling campus of Berry College and the towering ridge of Lavender Mountain, illustrating the intersection of educational infrastructure and the Appalachian foothills. Major institutional landmarks, including the Northwest Georgia Regional Hospital and the historic Myrtle Hill Cemetery, anchor the southern urban expansion of Rome.

To the north, the terrain transitions into the agricultural and scientific research areas of the NW Georgia Experimental Station near Jones Bend. Smaller communities such as Armuchee and Glenwood sit along the Southern Railway corridor, while several small lakes like Victory Lake and Lake Geneva are scattered throughout the valley. This map reflects a period of significant growth, with purple tinting highlighting the expanding footprint of residential and commercial developments into previously rural spaces.
