1947 Map of Alto

About this map

The Cumberland Escarpment rises sharply along the eastern edge of this 1947 survey, overlooking a landscape defined by the winding course of the Elk River. This territory at the meeting of Coffee, Franklin, and Grundy counties shows a deeply rooted rural infrastructure of small farming communities and family settlements. The Dixie Highway serves as the primary north-south artery, passing through Pelham and near numerous rural institutions like the Thompson Hall School and Mt Nebo Ch.
