About this map

Cedar Bluff occupies the northern banks of Weiss Lake, where the Chattooga River and Coosa River converge in Cherokee County. This landscape, updated in the late 1980s from earlier surveys, reveals a transition from industrial history to a recreation-based economy. The presence of the Cornwall Furnace north of town points to the area's iron-making past, while the Lakeshore Marina and the extensive shoreline of the reservoir signify its modern character.

Rural crossroads such as Howells Crossroads, Newberry Crossroads, and Tucker Crossroads serve as anchor points for the surrounding agricultural community. Significant local history is preserved in numerous country churches and cemeteries, including St Marks Ch, Ebenezer Ch, and the Howell Cem. The map also traces the Old Railroad Grade north of the lake, marking a transportation corridor that predated the impoundment of the rivers.
