2011 Map of Ball Ground West

About this map

The Etowah River meanders through the southern portion of this Georgia landscape, providing a natural anchor for the surrounding communities in Cherokee County. Settlement patterns here are defined by long-standing crossroads and family landmarks, including Keithsburg, Burris Crossroads, and the town of Ball Ground. The map reveals a high concentration of burial grounds such as McFarland Cemetery, Dowda Cemetery, and Hickory Log Cemetery, which offer valuable locations for genealogical research. Water management is a prominent feature of the terrain, visible through the series of reservoirs and flood control structures along Sharp Mountain Creek, including the Sharp Mountain Creek Structure Number Six Dam. To the south, Canton Mills Lake and its associated dam reflect the local industrial and utility history of the region near Keithsburg.
