    Is the name of the site in Georgia, Track Rock, connected to the name of a site near the Hudson River at Marlboro, New York, named Trap Rock? Are TRACK and TRAP a kind of rock?

    No, in fact I live in the Track Rock Community. The name Track Rock comes from the "animal tracks" appearance of some of the glyphs on some of the boulders. The "turkey track" glyphs look something like Norse Runic or Sumerian cunieform. The boulder, which I pictured above does not have those type symbols. I have no proof, but suspect that the rock carvings were made by several different ethnic groups over a period of many centuries.
