2020 Map of Cedar Bluff

About this map

Cornwall Furnace stands as a prominent landmark near Cedar Bluff in this part of Cherokee County, where the landscape is defined by the expansive waters of Weiss Lake. The terrain transitions from the heights of Dirtseller Mtn in the north to the low-lying reaches of Pruetts Island and Godfreys Island. A network of small communities and rural intersections, including Howells Crossroads, Newberry Crossroads, and Tucker Crossroads, anchors the interior. Genealogists and local historians can locate numerous burial grounds such as Caledonia Church Cem, Noah Cem, and the Friendship Baptist Church Cem near Whorton. The settlement pattern reflects a deeply rooted rural society, with older hamlets like Alexis, Piney, and Lawrence connected by a web of county roads that navigate the coves and creeks feeding into the reservoir.
