2014 Map of Ball Ground West

About this map

The Etowah River carves a winding path through this portion of Cherokee County, defining the landscape between the growing industrial and residential corridors of Canton and Ball Ground. The map highlights the transition from the concentrated development around Canton Mills Lake and the Cherokee County Airport to the more dispersed rural settlements at Gober and Burris Crossroads. This 2014 survey serves as a vital record for genealogists, as it documents numerous family and community burial grounds including Dowda Cem, McFarland Cem, and Keith Cem. The terrain is punctuated by significant elevations like Sharp Top, while modern infrastructure is represented by the Ga-5-BR and several named residential developments. Water features such as Sharp Mountain Creek, Moore Lake, and Turner Lake provide clear landmarks for understanding the local drainage patterns and land use in this North Georgia region.
