2019 Map of Pikeville

About this map

Pikeville serves as the central hub of this topographical study, positioned where the Sequatchie Valley meets the dramatic rise of the Cumberland Escarpment. The settlement patterns here follow the valley floor, with small communities like Lees Station and West End situated along the drainage of the Sequatchie River. Genealogy researchers will find numerous family-named landmarks and resting places, including McReynolds Cem, Henson Cem, and Vernon Cem. To the west, the landscape is defined by the Cumberland Plateau, featuring the uniquely named The Penitentiary and Penitentiary Gulf. On the eastern side of the quadrangle, the terrain transitions to Walden Ridge, where the community of New Harmony sits atop the high ground. The map details a network of rural roads such as the Alvin C York Hwy and State Hwy 443, which navigate the gaps and coves of the ridge, including Rigsby Gap and Loyd Cove.
