About this map

New Edinburg and McKinney anchor this 2017 landscape where the border of Cleveland and Bradley counties meets. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the meandering L'Aigle Cr and Steepbank L'Aigle Cr. These creek systems historically shaped the rural settlement patterns seen here, with small communities and family-named landmarks positioned along the higher ground between drainage basins.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites, such as the Good Hope Methodist Church Cem near McKinney and the Shady Grove Cem to the north. The area's transition from the agricultural past to a modern timber-and-transit corridor is evident in the grid of county roads, such as Parnell Springs Rd and Banks Rd, which connect long-established locales like Orlando and Weeks to the surrounding woodland resources.
