About this map

Cornwall Furnace stands as a prominent landmark on the northern banks of Weiss Lake, marking the industrial heritage of this Cherokee County landscape. In the early 21st century, the area around Cedar Bluff shows a complex geography of inlets and islands created by the impoundment of the Coosa River. Residential developments like McWhorter Subdivision, McElrath Subdivision, and Alpine Shores line the intricate shoreline, interspersed with older landmarks such as the Cedar Bluff Post Office and Burnett Bridge.

Rural crossroads such as Howells Crossroads, Newberry Crossroads, and Tucker Crossroads define the inland settlement patterns. Genealogists will find a wealth of local history in the numerous small burial grounds scattered across the terrain, including McCoy Cemetery, Calcedonia Cemetery, and Noah Cemetery. The map also details the convergence of Spring Creek and Three Mile Creek as they feed into the expansive reservoir.
