About this map

Shannon and its surrounding residential developments, including Woodcliffe Estates and Lakemoore Heights, anchor the Floyd County landscape along the Ga-53 corridor. The terrain is defined by the sharp elevations of Armstrong Mtn and Ward Mtn, while the western edge is bounded by the winding Oostanaula River. This 2014 survey reveals a dense network of family and community history, particularly through its numerous small burial grounds such as Gaines Road Cem, Rush Chapel Cem, and Oostanaula Cem.

Industry and transport are represented by the Shannon Flight Strip and the Hermitage Lookout Tower, reflecting the mixed usage of this ridge-and-valley area. Natural springs and lakes are abundant throughout the quadrangle, with named features like Edwards Spring, Russell Spring, and Halls Lake providing essential water sources. The map also delineates the boundary between Floyd and Bartow counties, tracing the rural outskirts where Dry Cr and Dukes Cr carve through the foothills.
