2014 Map of Leesburg

About this map

Weiss Lake and its intricate shoreline dominate the southern landscape of this Northeast Alabama quadrangle, where the Coosa River bends around Ballplay Bend. The terrain is defined by the sharp rise of Lookout Mountain and Shinbone Ridge, creating a series of valleys such as Little Wills Valley and Shinbone Valley. This landform-rich area contains a network of small, established settlements including Leesburg, Collinsville, and Sand Rock. Numerous family and community burial sites are documented throughout the hills, including New Bethel Cem, Pine Grove Cem, and Mackey Cem. The map illustrates the convergence of high-ground landmarks like Rock City with the low-lying wetlands of Tillery Cove, reflecting the complex geography of the Cherokee and Etowah county lines.
