2013 Map of Canton

About this map

Canton serves as a central hub on the eastern shores of Lake Barkley in this modern topographical study. The shoreline is characterized by numerous residential developments such as Rockcastle Shores, Shawnee Hills, and Barkley Shores, reflecting the mid-to-late 20th-century transformation of this region into a recreation-centered landscape. Despite this growth, many older landmarks persist, including the Trigg Furnace site and a significant network of family and local burial grounds like Liberty Point Cem, Jefferson Cem, and Carr Cem. The map detail traces the winding course of Blue Spring Cr and Hopson Cr, while the Lake Barkley State Park Airport occupies a prominent position near the spring-fed waters of Blue Spring. This intersection of traditional rural settlements like Maple Grove and modern lakefront communities provides a detailed look at the evolving geography of Trigg County.
