About this map

Allatoona Lake dominates the central geography of this Cherokee County survey, where the Etowah River and Little River converge in a complex system of wooded peninsulas and suburban developments. The map illustrates the contemporary landscape of the northern Georgia Piedmont, showing the expanding footprint of Canton and Woodstock alongside established rural communities like Sutallee and Lebanon.

Genealogists can identify several historic burial sites, including Brooks Cem and Lovingood Cem, which remain as markers of the area's earlier agricultural history. The topography is defined by features such as Gold Mill Ridge and the Mosquito Flats, while transportation infrastructure like the Knox Bridge and the Little River Bridge connect the fragmented shorelines. The map also captures the residential growth around Victoria and Holly Springs, where modern trail systems like the Explorer Trail - Loop 2 now weave through the terrain.
