2011 Map of Weisner Mountain

About this map

Weisner Mountain dominates the central topography of this Cherokee County corridor, serving as a geographic anchor for the rural communities of Tennala, Plano, and Ball Flat. The landscape is defined by the hydrologic network of Terrapin Creek and the Coosa River in the north, while the southern reaches are drained by Ballplay Creek and Little Ballplay Creek. This 2011 survey reveals a deeply rooted rural settlement pattern, evidenced by the high density of family and community burial grounds, including Sardis Hill Cemetery, Davis Chapel Cemetery, and Providence Cemetery. The presence of Lake Weisner and the associated Weisner Dam indicates localized water management along Morrison Creek. The road network, primarily composed of county routes like Co HWY-71 and Co RD-334, connects these dispersed settlements, reflecting a community structure that has persisted around the rugged elevation of the mountain and its surrounding fertile creek valleys.
