2020 Map of Canton

About this map

The Etowah River carves through the northern landscape of Cherokee County, framing the administrative and commercial heart of Canton. This 2020 edition documents the suburban development and infrastructure of the region, from the Cherokee County Courthouse in the historic center to the growing residential areas of North Canton and South Canton. The map reveals a transition from the structured street grid of the county seat to the winding roads of unincorporated communities such as Buffington and Hickory Flat. For genealogists and local historians, several family-named landmarks and resting places are preserved in the data, including River View Cem near the riverbanks and Pugh Cem to the east. The terrain is marked by numerous small lakes and creeks, such as Garrison Lake and Canton Cr, which have historically influenced the settlement patterns of nearby hamlets like Univeter and Avery.
