About this map

Cornwall Furnace stands as a significant historical anchor near the settlement of Cornwall, marking the northern reaches of a landscape defined by the expansive waters of Weiss Lake. This 2014 survey illustrates the intricate relationship between the Coosa River's impoundment and the surrounding Cherokee County communities, where numerous coves like Pathkiller Cove and Dead Boy Cove carve into the shoreline. The map reveals a high density of rural burial sites and intersections, such as Howells Crossroads and Newberry Crossroads, which continue to serve as local geographic markers.

From the heights of Bogan Mtn to the lowlands of Yanceys Bend, the terrain is a mix of agricultural tradition and modern lakeside living. Family-named landmarks and small cemeteries, including McCoy Cem and Ebenezer Alexis Cem, provide essential data for those researching local lineage. The road network, including Al-9 and Al-68, connects these disparate settlements and crossings, illustrating the enduring structure of this Alabama river valley.
