GA-14 encompasses most of rural and suburban Northwest Georgia, from Dade County to Murray County along the Georgia-Tennessee line, and from Dade County to Haralson County along the Georgia-Alabama line. It extends southward and eastward to the fringes of the Atlanta metropolitan area, including Paulding County.
