Rocky Face

The wooded ridge-and-valley terrain around Rocky Face is characteristic of northwest Georgia, and it has shaped both the scattered settlement pattern and the local economy. Rocky Face Ridge rises beside the community, a long landform of the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians that has influenced travel through Whitfield County. In May 1864, its gaps became a major position in the Battle of Rocky Face Ridge, an opening engagement of the Atlanta Campaign; Confederate troops held the heights as Union forces sought routes south. Nearby Dalton is the area’s principal urban centre, while the ridge remains the defining feature of this small community.
