Pikeville sits at the heart of this Appalachian landscape, where the town spans the Levisa Fork and its surrounding valley floor. The geography is defined by a dense network of hollows and ridges, including Cider Poor Farm Ridge and Peach Orchard Mtn, which separate the various residential and industrial clusters. Small settlements like Mayo Village, Yorktown, and Kewanee line the primary transit corridors, while more isolated locales such as Pigeon and Little Dixie are tucked into the branching creek drainages. Genealogists will find a significant number of family burial sites throughout the area, including Dill Cem, the John Mimms Sword-Cem, and Potter Cem. The map illustrates the contemporary infrastructure of the region, featuring several river crossings like the Lower Bridge and Upper Bridge, alongside landmarks such as Titan Siding and Narrows Bottom.
