2010 Map of Canton

About this map

The Van Zandt County seat of Canton is captured here during a period of steady growth, anchored by the waters of City Lake and the Canton City Lake Dam. The landscape east of the city is defined by a network of drainage basins, including the winding courses of Grand Saline Creek, Mill Creek, and Kickapoo Creek. These waterways are punctuated by numerous small reservoirs and local landmarks like the Kellam Number 1 Dam and Club Twenty Lake. Small rural communities such as Red Hill, Wentworth, and Oakland remain distinct along the network of county roads. For those tracing local history, the map provides precise locations for several burial grounds, including Morris Chapel Cemetery, Hillcrest Cemetery, and Oakland Cemetery. The presence of the Canton-Hackney Airport northwest of the city center highlights the modern infrastructure serving this East Texas region.
