2024 Map of Weisner Mountain

About this map

Weisner Mountain dominates the southern landscape of this Cherokee County region, where the foothills meet a complex network of valley streams. The area is defined by its rural density, evidenced by numerous family and community burial grounds such as Solomon Griffin Stinson Cem and Weaver Cem. Settlement patterns follow the winding course of Terrapin Creek and Sugar Creek, which drain toward the Coosa River system. Small centers of local life appear at Plano, Gnatville, and Tennala, connected by a dense web of county roads that navigate the varying elevations. The presence of Lake Weisner and several churches, including Davis Chapel Cem and Sardis Hill Cem, highlights the enduring connection between the local topography and its longtime residents. This modern survey provides a detailed view of the rural crossroads and drainage basins that have shaped eastern Alabama for generations.
