1973 Map of Ball Ground East

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Etowah River carves a deep valley through this portion of Cherokee County, creating a rugged landscape where numerous small communities and country churches took root. The settlement of Ball Ground occupies the western edge, served by the Seaboard railroad line, while rural hamlets like Mica, Ophir, and Orange are scattered across the higher ground to the east. The map reveals a spiritual and social network defined by local landmarks such as Cherry Grove Ch, Shiloh Ch, and Liberty Ch. Waterways including Long Swamp Creek, Settingdown Creek, and Cane Creek feed into the Etowah, shaping the agricultural and residential patterns of the era. A prominent Quarry near the northern border and an Athletic Field in the south indicate the varied industrial and community life present during the early 1970s.
