USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
Altamont serves as the central hub of this mid-century survey, situated atop the plateau where the headwaters of Piney Creek and Rock Creek begin their descent. The landscape is defined by deep incisions like Northcutts Cove and Savage Cove, which reveal the dramatic topography of the Cumberland Plateau. A notable historical corridor is the Old Chattanooga Stage Road, which winds along the eastern ridge near Beersheba Springs, tracing a transportation route that predates modern highway engineering.
