1956 Map of Altamont

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Beersheba Spring and Altamont anchor this survey of the Grundy County highlands, where the Cumberland Plateau begins its dramatic descent. The map captures a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and deep valleys such as Savage Cove and Northcutts Cove. Transportation history is visible in the route of the Old Chattanooga and Mc Minnville Stage Road, which navigates the complex terrain of the plateau. Educational and religious centers like Utah Sch and Grace Chapel are scattered across the higher ground, serving rural communities before many small institutions were consolidated.
