2010 Map of Alpine

About this map

Monroe Post Office and Alpine Post Office serve as central nodes in this rural Tennessee landscape, where the topography is defined by the winding West Fork Obey River and the southern reaches of Dale Hollow Lake. The map reveals a high density of family and community burial grounds, such as Smiths Chapel Cemetery, Regan Cemetery, and Winningham Cemetery, reflecting the deep ancestral roots of the local population. Landforms here are often identified by their relationship to the drainage system, with numerous named hollows like Bugger Hole Hollow, Means Hollow, and Cowan Hollow carving through the terrain. Evidence of water management and local landmarks appear at the Jolly Lake Dam on Jolly Lake, while the elevation rises toward Pilot Knob and Rocky Ridge, providing a detailed look at the interface between the Cumberland Plateau's geology and the early 21st-century rural road network.
