About this map

Orme sits within a complex geography of deep coves and prominent ridges in this 2013 study of Marion County. The settlement pattern is defined by the sharp verticality of the Cumberland Plateau, where names like Price Ridge and Orme Mountain dictate the paths of winding roads such as Stage Coach Rd and Orme Mountain Rd. Natural springs and water sources are abundant throughout these hollows, including Wildcat Spring, Holly Spring, and Rattlesnake Spring, which drain into systems like Sweden Cr and Battle Cr.

Family names and early landmarks are preserved in labels such as Jackson Point, Beene Cove, and Gilliams Cove Rd. The landscape features numerous distinctive geographic formations like Sandy Narrows, Falling Cliff, and The Cowbones. This survey provides a modern look at a rural Tennessee landscape that retains much of its historical nomenclature, from the highland of The Levels to the isolated enclave of Tate Cove.
