The hill is located in northern Walton County near the town of Lakewood, Florida, just off County Road 285 about two miles (three kilometers) southeast of Florala, Alabama. It is inside Lakewood Park, which marks the high point and features a monument, trails, and an information board.

The hill is named after and in honor of the Britton family and former early 1900's lumber mill baron William Henry Britton. The family gifted the land after Hazel Slaughter Britton's death in 1976.
