1947 Map of Alto

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Elk River meanders through the heart of this mid-century landscape, defining a valley floor marked by productive agricultural land and small rural communities. The sharp rise of the Cumberland Escarpment to the east provides a dramatic backdrop to the settlements of Alto and Pelham. This 1947 field examination captures the transition between the valley flats and the high timbered ridges, where the Dixie Highway served as a vital regional artery long before the modern interstate system.
