About this map

Shannon serves as a central hub in this section of Floyd County, situated just north of Rome. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the valley floor along the Oostanaula River to the prominent heights of Armstrong Mtn and Ward Mtn. Notable for genealogists is the high density of small family and community burial grounds, including the John Hume Cem, Berwin Cem, and the Highway 53-Shannon Road Cem.

Industrial and agricultural heritage is visible through landmarks such as the Shannon Flight Strip and several notable water sources like Youngs Mill Spring and Morrison Camp Ground Spring. The northeastern quadrant, near the Bartow Co line, features a network of roads with Irish-inspired names such as Bunratty Way NE and Tipperary Dr, contrasting with the more traditional rural naming conventions found near Pinson and Hermitage.
