About this map

The Valley River serves as the central artery for this Cherokee County landscape, guiding the path of local industry and settlement. Industrial activity is concentrated near the community of Marble, where the presence of the Grey Quarry, Rubble Quarry, and Terrazzo Switch indicates a history tied to stone extraction. Further east, the small settlements of Coalville and Woodville sit near Wood Lake Dam, while the western reach of the valley includes Maltby and Tomotla.

Away from the riverbanks, the terrain ascends sharply into a series of named knobs and gaps, including Hanging Dog Mountain and Snowbird Top. Genealogists may find value in the location of the Moss Cemetery and Parker Cemetery, situated amidst a network of rural routes like Dancing Tree Rd and Old Peach Tree Rd. The map also preserves numerous family-named topographical features such as Kimsey Cove, Will Puett Cove, and Rhea Cove, which offer clues to the early residency patterns of these mountain hollows.
