2014 Map of Cannonsburg

About this map

Bear Cr and Honey Cr carve through the glacial landscape of northeast Kent County, anchoring the historic communities of Cannonsburg and Parnell. This area is defined by its high density of kettle lakes and wetlands, ranging from the large recreational waters of Bostwick Lake and Murray Lake to smaller, secluded basins like Hyser Lake and Cowan Lake. The settlement pattern reflects a deeply rooted rural history, with numerous community burial grounds including Cannon Cem, Grattan Cem, and Marshall Cem serving as vital landmarks for genealogical research. A notable modern addition to this landscape is the N Country National Scenic Trail, which winds through the southern townships. The map illustrates a transition from the structured street grids of established hamlets to the winding lakeside drives and rural routes like Belding Rd NE that connect the region's scattered agricultural and residential pockets.
