2024 Map of Altamont East

About this map

Altamont and its surrounding countryside are defined by a dense concentration of religious and family burial grounds, reflecting the deep-rooted heritage of Effingham County. This landscape is marked by the influence of German Lutheran settlement, with Saint Paul Lutheran Cem, Immanuel Lutheran Cem, and Zion Lutheran Cem positioned across the quadrangle. The terrain transitions from the developed streets of Altamont, including E Division St and E Cumberland Rd, to the more rural hamlets of Dexter and Keptown. Waterways like Big Creek, Lily Creek, and Coon Creek carve through the agricultural fields, while Old Altamont Reservoir and Shoemakers Pond provide localized water storage. Genealogists will find this sheet particularly valuable for its precise mapping of smaller, family-named sites such as McCoy Cem, Freemanton Cem, and the Drysdale - Newman Cem.
