Tributaries
The Coosa River's drainage has hundreds of tributaries, which have been divided into sections based on the different areas of the watershed. The first four sections are tributary systems that converge to form the main artery of the Coosa River in Georgia. These main tributary rivers are the Conasauga and Coosawattee Rivers, which together then form the Oostanaula River. The Oostanaula then joins with the Etowah River in Rome, Georgia, forming the Coosa River.
Other significant tributaries of the Coosa are:
- Amicalola Creek
- Armuchee Creek
- Big Wills Creek
- Cartecay River
- Cedar Creek
- Chattooga River
- Chocolocco Creek
- Coahulla River
- Ellijay River
- Hatchett Creek
- Heath Creek
- Little River
- Mill Creek
- Mountain Creek
- Raccoon Creek
- Rock Creek
- Spring Creek
- Sugar Creek
- Terrapin Creek
- Weogufka Creek (through Hatchett Creek)
