2019 Map of Alpine

About this map

Wirmingham and Oak Dale sit at the intersection of a ridge-top plateau and the deeply carved river valleys of north-central Tennessee. This landscape is defined by the West Fork Obey River, which winds through the eastern portion of the map, and the southern reaches of Dale Hollow Lake in the northeast. The terrain is marked by numerous family-named hollows and peaks, including Bugger Hole Hollow and Pilot Knob. Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial sites scattered across the highlands, such as Wirmingham Cem, Smiths Chapel Cem, and Bolestown Cem. The settlement pattern follows the high ground, with small communities like Monroe and Alpine connected by winding roads that navigate the complex topography of the Pickett and Overton County line.
