About this map

Alpine and Oak Dale anchor this Overton County landscape where the W Fork Obey River winds through deep hollows. The terrain is defined by its significant relief, featuring landmarks like Pilot Knob and Rocky Ridge alongside numerous named drainage basins such as Bugger Hole Hollow and Cowan Hollow. The northern reaches of the map show the southern fingers of Dale Hollow Lake, reflecting the region's mid-20th-century water management legacy.

Transportation routes like Wirmingham RD and the Old Eastport Dock RD connect small settlements including Wirmingham and Ivyton. For local historians, the map preserves many family-named roads such as Garfield Hinds RD and Boles Beaty RD, which provide clues to land ownership and community development in this part of Tennessee. The intricate network of creeks, including Nettlecarrier Cr and Sells Mill Cr, highlights the importance of the local watershed to these highland communities.
