1947 Map of Alto

About this map

Arnold Air Force Base dominates the western landscape of this mid-century survey, a sprawling military installation established just years before these records were field-checked in 1947. The base encompasses the Woods Reservoir and stretches across Negro Bottom near the Elk River. To the east, the terrain rises sharply toward the Cumberland Escarpment, where landmarks like Petty Point and Pull Tight Hill overlook the agricultural valleys below.
