[2] Cannonsburg is located 8 miles (13 km) southwest of the city of Ashland, a major urban center in northeastern Kentucky.

The construction of a new diamond-shaped interchange at the Interstate 64/KY 180 Exit 185 was completed in fall of 2008 to improve safety and address traffic problems.

WONS AM 1080's (Formally WOKT & WYHY) transmitter and tower is located on Lester Lane & East Johnson Road.

The Camp Landing Entertainment District (formerly Cedar Knoll Galleria, then Kyova Mall) is located in Cannonsburg.

The property was sold in 2021 to a consortium that included the Boyd County Government and reopened as Camp Landing Entertainment District that year.

New anchor tenants, including a remodeled theater, a casino, and an indoor amusement park, refilled the mall in the following years.
