About this map

Canton and its northern neighbor North Canton anchor this 2011 survey of the Georgia Piedmont, where the Etowah River carves through a landscape of evolving suburban development and rural heritage. The map records a complex network of man-made water features, including several numbered dams such as the Mill Canton Creek Structure Number 12 Dam and the Mill Canton Creek Structure Number Six Dam, highlighting the managed hydrology of the region.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and historical sites. Small crossroads and older settlements like Hickory Flat, Avery, and Buffington are clearly marked, alongside essential community locations including the Canton Post Office and several rural burying grounds like Pugh Cemetery and Wheeler Cemetery. The area's transition from agricultural roots is visible in the proximity of Stringer Airport to established residential corridors and sprawling bodies of water like Lacy Lake and Waters Lake.
