Altamont and the rural townships of western Effingham County are defined by a meticulous grid of county roads and a dense concentration of pioneer and denominational burial grounds. The landscape is carved by the drainages of Second Creek, Big Creek, and Brockett Creek, which create natural breaks in the agricultural patchwork. Cultural history is anchored by sites like the Old Altamont Reservoir and numerous religious landmarks including Saint Paul Lutheran Cemetery and the Miller Chapel Cemetery.
