About this map

Centre serves as the focal point of this Cherokee County landscape, where the Cherokee County Courthouse stands near the confluence of local commerce and the extensive waters of Weiss Lake. The terrain is defined by prominent ridges and mountains, including Lookout Mountain in the northwest and the distinctive Round Mountain, which rises above the surrounding coves. A dense network of rural roads connects established settlements like Leesburg, Cedar Bluff, and Blue Pond, tracing the complex shoreline where Yellow Creek and Big Nose Creek meet the lake.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites recorded across the township lines, from the Union Church Cem in the north to the Shiloh Cem and Garrett Cem further south. The map documents a landscape of numerous inlets and islands, such as Hog Island and Buffingtons Island, reflecting the significance of the local hydrography on the region's development and road layout, including crossings like Garrett Bridge over Terrapin Creek.
