About this map

Wirmingham and the nearby Ivyton settlement define this portion of the Highland Rim, where the land breaks toward the deep waters of Dale Hollow Lake. This modern survey reveals a landscape deeply connected to its ancestral roots, evidenced by the high density of family-named burial grounds like Winningham Cem, McDonald Cem, and Dungan Smith Cem that pepper the ridges and hollows. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes, from the heights of King Mtn and Pilot Knob down to the winding course of the West Fork Obey River.

Industry and local geography are tied to these waterways and ridges, with Nettlecarrier Cr and Poor Br carving through the countryside. The map traces the rural road network, including historic routes like Old TN 42 and Old Livingston Rd, which connect small communities such as Monroe and Oak Dale. The boundary between Pickett Co and Overton Co runs through the northern section, dividing a region defined by its rugged hollows, including the curiously named Bugger Hole Hollow.
