2014 Map of Wax

About this map

The Etowah River carves a dramatic path through the landscape of southeast Floyd County, defining the settlement patterns of Etowah and Chulio. This survey highlights the deep-rooted community history of the region through numerous burial grounds and family landmarks, including the Adams-Snowden Family Cem and the Alford-Watson Cem. The geography is anchored by prominent summits like Yellow Jacket Mtn and Mullinax Mtn, while the river's influence is seen at historic crossing points such as Davis Ford, Bass Ford, and Eves Ford. Further south, the map details the rural character of Wax, where Wax Spring and Wax Lake sit near the Wax Community Cem. Local religious heritage is evident at the Gore Spring AME Church Cem and the Pleasant Hill-Missionary Baptist Church Cem, illustrating the cultural fabric of these Georgia foothills.
