About this map

Pine Mountain and the Log Mountains dominate this 2019 survey of the Kentucky-Virginia borderlands, a landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep hollows. The Cumberland River cuts through the northern section near Pineville, where the Laurel Cove Amphitheater and Pine Mountain State Resort Park represent the region's long-standing recreational heritage. Further south, the terrain transitions into the protected acreage of the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park.

Genealogists and local researchers will find a high density of family-named landmarks, particularly cemeteries such as Bingham Cem, Wilder Cem, and Slusher Cem. These sites, along with smaller settlements like Ferndale, Meldrum, and Colmar, are connected by a network of historic tracks including the Harlan Road Trail and the Cumberland College Trail. The map also captures significant water features like Cannon Creek Lake and Bartleys Lake, which sit tucked between peaks like Rocky Face and Flag Top.
