1993 Map of South Canton

About this map

Allatoona Lake and the winding Etowah River dominate the landscape of central Cherokee County, where the sprawling waters meet established industrial and residential corridors. This 1993 edition, revised from earlier aerial photography, captures the region during a period of significant suburban development south of the main Canton settlement. The map traces the CSX Transportation railroad line as it passes through North Canton, South Canton, and down toward Holly Springs, illustrating the historical transport spine of the area. Local genealogy is well-represented through numerous family and community landmarks, including Lovingood Cem, Sweetwater Ch Cem, and several historic houses of worship like Fields Chapel and Grace Ch. These sites, along with established landings such as Little River Landing, provide a detailed record of the community's evolution from a river-based economy to a modern lakeside and commuter hub.
