About this map

Cornwall Furnace stands as a prominent landmark on the northern banks of the Chattooga River, marking a point of industrial heritage in Cherokee County. This 1967 survey, updated with mid-1980s aerial data, reveals a landscape defined by the expansive waters of Weiss Lake and the winding Coosa River. The settlement pattern is characterized by several crossroads communities, including Howells Crossroads, Newberry Crossroads, and Tucker Crossroads, which served as local hubs for the surrounding rural population.

Transport history is visible through the Old Railroad Grade and Burnett Bridge, showing how the region was networked before and after the impoundment of the lake. Local genealogy is well-supported by numerous rural congregations and burial sites such as St Marks Ch, Demaris Ch, and the Lawrence Cem. In the town of Cedar Bluff, civic life is represented by the County Training Sch and a local Filtration Plant.
