2020 Map of Altitude

About this map

Altitude sits at the heart of this Prentiss County survey, where the topography is defined by the Tennessee Valley Divide and a series of hollows. The landscape is deeply carved by drainage systems including Big Brown Cr, Brush Cr, and Martin Cr. For genealogists and local historians, the area is notable for its numerous small family and community burial grounds, such as Jones Chapel Cem, Mount Pleasant Cem, and Martin Hill Cem, which are scattered throughout the rural terrain. The settlement of New Hope appears in the southeast, anchored by the nearby Bullard Cem. Water features such as Walden Lake and the winding course of Big Rock Hollow illustrate the varied elevations of this region, while landmarks like Round Hill and Blue Hill provide distinctive points of reference in the northeastern section of the quadrangle.
