About this map

Cornwall Furnace stands as a primary historical landmark on the northern edge of this Cherokee County landscape, north of the town of Cedar Bluff. The area is defined by the expansive waters of Weiss Lake, which surrounds several significant landforms including Pruetts Island and Godfreys Island. This 2018 survey reveals a network of small crossroads communities and rural settlements, such as Howells Crossroads, Newberry Crossroads, and Alexis, connected by a web of county roads.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the terrain, from the Cedar Bluff Cem near the town center to more isolated locations like Caledonia Cem, Fife Cem, and the Ebenezer Alexis Cem. The geography is further detailed by numerous named inlets including Trotter Cove and Dead Boy Cove, while watercourses like Three Mile Creek and Cowan Creek drain the surrounding fields and forests, illustrating the complex relationship between the local topography and the man-made reservoir.
