1967 Map of Melson

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Weiss Reservoir dominates this landscape along the Alabama and Georgia border, where the flooding of the Coosa River reshaped the local geography. The map captures the transition of the river valley into a reservoir system, marking the inundation of low-lying areas while preserving the locations of hilltop settlements like Kirks Grove and Melson. Genealogists will find a high density of rural spiritual and burial sites, including State Line Ch and Old Nazareth Cem, which anchored the community across the state line between Cherokee Co, Alabama, and Floyd Co, Georgia.
