Where it is

Canton is near the center of Cherokee County, north of Holly Springs, southwest of Ball Ground and southeast of Waleska. The city covers about 18.7 square miles, and the Etowah River runs east to west through the middle of it.

Driving

Interstate 575 runs along the east side of town, with exits 14 through 20 serving Canton. It connects to I-75 and puts downtown about 40 miles north of Atlanta. Georgia 20 runs east to west through the city just south of the river, and Georgia 140 crosses the center of town from the northwest to the southeast.

Flying

Cherokee County Airport is next to I-575, about seven miles northeast of downtown, and serves private and corporate aircraft.
