1997 Map of South Canton

About this map

The Etowah River and the expansive waters of Allatoona Lake dominate this Cherokee County landscape, defining the character of the region in the late 1990s. The map illustrates a transition from the industrial and residential centers of Canton and Holly Springs to the protected woodlands of the Allatoona State Wildlife Management Area. Transport and industry are evident through the Georgia Northern RR corridor and the developments at Univeter and Lebanon. For the local historian, the map preserves the locations of rural landmarks like Lovingood Cem and Knox Cem, along with community anchors such as Fields Chapel and New Bethel Ch. The presence of Victoria Landing and Fields Landing highlights the era's focus on lakeside recreation and infrastructure.
