Pine Mountain Settlement School and the high ridges of the Cumberland Mountain chain anchor this 1916 survey of the Kentucky-Virginia borderlands. The landscape is defined by the steep, parallel heights of Black Mountain and Little Black Mountain, where the coal and timber economies began to reshape the region's isolated hollows. Industrial rail activity is evident along the Louisville and Nashville RR, connecting river settlements like Nolansburg, Kildav, and Evarts through narrow mountain passes.
