2022 Map of Alpine

About this map

Wirmingham and the surrounding highlands of the Eastern Highland Rim are defined by a complex network of deep hollows and narrow ridges. The landscape is marked by the presence of Dale Hollow Lake in the north and the winding course of the West Fork Obey River to the east. Numerous family burial grounds, such as the Winningham Cem and Ferrill Cem, are tucked into the drainages of Crawford Hollow and Bugger Hole Hollow, reflecting generations of rural Tennessee settlement patterns. High points like Pilot Knob and King Mtn overlook a terrain where small communities like Alpine and Monroe are connected by winding mountain roads. The topographic detail captures the transition from high ridge tops like Rocky Ridge down to the creek beds of Nettlecarrier Cr and Goose Creek Ln, illustrating the historical reliance on these natural corridors for travel and habitation.
