2014 Map of Ball Ground East

About this map

The Etowah River carves a central path through this portion of Cherokee, Forsyth, and Dawson counties, where the Piedmont landscape is defined by a dense network of creek valleys and ridges. Small settlements like Mica, Ophir, Orange, and Macedonia anchor the rural landscape, connected by historic thoroughfares such as Old Federal Rd and the Trail of Tears TRL. Genealogists will find the Ball Ground City Cem and Cane Creek Cem notable, providing specific geographic points for family research. The map illustrates a transitional period of suburban growth alongside established natural features, including Tustian Lake and Bartholomew Lake. The presence of the Cherokee Gold TRL serves as a reminder of the region's mineral history, while the modern infrastructure of Atlanta Gas Light Lake highlights the intersection of utilities and local geography near Ball Ground.
