The map shows features as they were before 1960, when Weis Lake was created. I had an uncle who grew cotton in that hairpin just east of Sand Valley, and just south of Cedar Bluff. The soil was delightfully loamy. This map also comes from "Cherokee County History 1836-1956," (vol. 1) by Mrs. Frank Ross (Margaret) Stewart, published 1958.
