2010 Map of Canton

About this map

Lake Barkley dominates the western half of this Trigg County landscape, defining the character of the shorelines and the modern development patterns of the early 21st century. The Lawrence Memorial Bridge provides a primary crossing at Canton, connecting the eastern uplands to the water-oriented communities of Barkley Shores and Cumberland Shores. The map reveals a mix of older rural foundations and newer residential growth, where winding roads like Canton Blue Spg Rd lead to points of local significance such as Blue Spring. Family and community history is preserved through numerous burial grounds scattered across the terrain, including Liberty Point Cemetery near Cedar Point and Mcintire Cemetery. Small settlements like Donaldson and Maple Grove remain positioned along traditional routes, while prominent landforms such as Hillman Bluff and Mineral Hill rise above the complex network of inlets and creek valleys that feed into the lake.
