1961 Map of South Canton

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Allatoona Reservoir dominates the topography of southern Cherokee County, its dendritic shoreline reaching deep into the Piedmont landscape via the Etowah River and Little River. This 1961 field-checked survey, updated with 1968 aerial revisions, shows the area as it transitioned into a major recreational hub while maintaining its rural and industrial roots. The Louisville and Nashville railroad corridor anchors the eastern half, connecting Canton and South Canton with the settlements of Holly Springs and Lebanon. Cultural landmarks are densely plotted, including numerous rural churches such as Mt Carmel Ch, Fields Chapel, and Sixes Ch. Local history is further preserved through the identification of several family-named landmarks and infrastructure, from the Lovingood Cem near Victoria to the Knox Bridge crossing. The map also records the location of a Quarry and a Landing Strip, highlighting the varied land use near the reservoir's edge.
