1947 Map of Alto

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

The Cumberland Escarpment dominates the eastern edge of this 1940s landscape, where the plateau drops sharply into the coves of the Elk River valley. This area, spanning the intersection of Coffee, Grundy, and Franklin counties, reveals a traditional Southern agrarian layout centered on small community hubs like Alto and Pelham. Travel and trade are defined by historical crossings such as Dabbs Ford Bridge and Rutledge Ford, alongside the more modern path of the Dixie Highway.
