1973 Map of Ball Ground West

About this map

The Etowah River snakes through the southern portion of this Georgia landscape, providing a natural boundary as it flows past Keithsburg and the outskirts of Canton. During the mid-1970s, the region maintained a pattern of dispersed rural communities and family-named crossroads, such as Burris Crossroads and Gober. The town of Ball Ground serves as a northern anchor, positioned along the Seaboard Road rail line which dictates the local transport corridor. This area is dense with community landmarks, including Old Damascus Church near Soap Creek and Hopewell Church along Hornage Road. The survey also documents local education and infrastructure through sites like the Bunche School and the Cherokee County Airport, alongside specialized industrial footprints such as the Filtration Plant and a Quarry near the western edge of the quadrangle.
