2017 Map of Ball Ground West

About this map

The Etowah River carves through this northern Georgia landscape, serving as a geographic anchor for the communities of Canton, Ball Ground, and Keithsburg. The area is characterized by a network of winding roads and significant water bodies like Canton Mills Lake and Sharp Mountain Creek, illustrating the region's connection to its riverine environment. For genealogists, the map is a vital resource, identifying numerous burial sites including the Ball Ground City Cem, McFarland Cem, and Keith Cem, which reflect the long-standing family settlements of Cherokee County. The presence of the Cherokee County Airport and the corridor near Nelson indicate the area's development as it bridges the boundary between Pickens and Cherokee counties. Smaller crossroads like Burris Crossroads and Gober represent the more localized rural patterns that have persisted alongside larger infrastructure.
