A manganese mine located adjacent to Rowland Spring Road, 6.4 km NE of Cartersville.
The Dobbins mine is the oldest manganese mine in Georgia, having been opened as early as 1866. In writing of the manganese industry at Cartersville, Weeks states: "Mining was begun at this locality in 1866 by the Pyrolusite Mining Company, and 550 tons of ore were mined and sold in that year." As this production of 1866 was reported in the statistics of the United States Mineral Resources as coming from the whole Cartersville district, the quantity produced in 1866 on the Dobbins property is not known.
