Track Rock
History
Track Rock is a fifty-two-acre archaeological site in Georgia’s Chattahoochee National Forest, known for Native American petroglyphs carved or pecked into six large soapstone boulders. The images resemble animal and bird tracks, crosses, circles, human footprints, and other geometric figures. Archaeologists have not determined either the carvings’ age or meaning, proposing dates from the Archaic Period to the time of the Cherokee. Cherokee traditions gave the place names meaning “where there are tracks” and “the printed or branded place,” linking the markings to hunters or animals after a flood. Long noted by visitors, the site remains an important but vulnerable cultural landscape.
