Etowah River

The Etowah River flows through north-western Georgia, in the United States, and joins the Oostanaula at Rome to form the Coosa River. Its valley was home to the Etowah chiefdom, one of the great Mississippian centres, whose mounds still stand near Cartersville. In the 19th century it ran through Cherokee lands before their removal.
