2011 Map of Leesburg

About this map

Weiss Lake dominates this Alabama landscape, with its irregular shoreline creating a complex network of points and coves. The presence of the Weiss Dam and the Weiss Lake Dike highlights the mid-century engineering that transformed the Coosa River valley. The town of Leesburg sits at the eastern edge of the water, serving as a hub for the surrounding rural communities. Settlement patterns are concentrated along the highway corridors, particularly near Mackey and Bristow. Significant elevation changes are marked by features like Big Mountain and Rock City, while the local history is preserved in numerous burial grounds such as Cedar Hill Cemetery and Mount Lookout Cemetery. Smaller outlying settlements like Sand Rock and Slackland are connected by a web of county roads, reflecting a landscape defined by both modern recreation at Pine Cove Marina and traditional agricultural roots.
