Most of Orme's public buildings and residences are concentrated in a small stretch of bottomland along Dry Creek, the valley's primary drainage.  The walls of the plateau rise nearly a thousand feet in all directions, the exception being a relatively narrow gap that opens to the south.  [[South Pittsburg, Tennessee]], lies across the plateau to the east, and [[Bridgeport, Alabama]], lies to the southeast.   [[Russell Cave National Monument]] lies just across the state line to the south.

A single paved road, Orme Road, connects Orme to [[Jackson County, Alabama]].  To reach Orme via paved road from Tennessee generally requires driving along [[U.S. Route 72]] from South Pittsburg southward into Alabama, and following county roads 75 and 98 northward through Doran's Cove (the latter highway becomes Orme Road at the state line).  A gravel road, Orme Mountain Road, connects Orme with [[Tennessee State Route 156]] atop the plateau to the north.

According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the town has a total area of {{convert|4.2|sqmi|km2}}, all land.
