About this map

The confluence of the Etowah River and Coosa River anchors this southern portion of Rome, where the urban grid gives way to the ridges and valleys of Floyd County. The landscape is defined by prominent elevations like Horseleg Mountain and Mt Alto, which overlook a series of smaller communities and junctions. To the south, Atlanta Junction and Lindale show the transition from industrial and residential corridors into the rural reaches of Boozeville and Silver Creek.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, ranging from the Old Antioch Cem near the city center to more outlying locations like Vanns Valley Cem and Birdsong Cem. Educational institutions such as Georgia Highlands College and Georgia Northwestern Technical College occupy significant footprints between the hills. The map captures the complex drainage patterns of the region, where Prentis Branch and Booze Creek weave through the valley floor beneath Hickory Mountain and Booze Mountain.
