Blackwood

Among the small communities of northwest Georgia, Blackwood stands out for its position in the Ridge and Valley Appalachians, where long wooded ridges alternate with working farmland. It lies in Gordon County, a rural stretch of the state between the Blue Ridge to the east and the Appalachian Plateau farther west. The Oostanaula River flows through the county on its way toward Rome, while local roads follow the valleys rather than a dense urban grid. The wider area also carries an important Cherokee history: New Echota, the 19th-century capital of the Cherokee Nation, is preserved nearby as a state historic site.
