2018 Map of Leesburg

About this map

Lookout Mountain dominates the northeast corner of this terrain, where the plateau drops toward the broad expanse of Weiss Lake. The 2018 landscape is characterized by a series of prominent ridges and valleys, including Shinbone Ridge and the adjacent Shinbone Valley, which run parallel to the southern reach of the mountain. Scattered throughout this crossroads of Alabama history are numerous family and community landmarks, such as Sand Rock Cem and Hunts Cem. Settlement patterns follow the topography, with communities like Leesburg and Slackland positioned along the major transit corridors that skirt the edges of the ridges and the lake shore. The map also traces the transition between DeKalb, Cherokee, and Etowah counties, marking the rural development of the area from Little Wills Valley to the submerged features of Tillery Cove.
