USGS Topo · Published 1903About this map
Pineville and Barboursville serve as the primary hubs in this late 19th-century survey of the tri-state borderlands where Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia meet. The landscape is dominated by the dramatic ridgelines of Pine Mountain and the Cumberland Mountains, which channel settlement and movement along the Cumberland River and its numerous tributaries. This period before heavy industrialization reveals a network of river crossings and small upland settlements like Flat Lick and Calloway.
