1915 map of Cherokee County, featuring "Goldridge"
Gold Ridge is an unincorporated community in Cherokee County, Georgia, United States. It was settled in the mid nineteenth-century and is located between Canton and the Sixes community, which is home to the now-defunct Sixes Gold Mine.[1] The area is located in the Georgia Gold Belt, which runs southwest to northeast along the southern edge of the Blue Ridge mountains.[1] Gold Ridge (or this area formerly known as Gold Ridge) is becoming more residential and now makes up part of southwestern suburban Canton. The area is traversed by State Routes 20 and 205 and is bordered to the north and west by the Etowah River.
