2013 Map of Pineville

About this map

The Cumberland River winds through the heart of this terrain, anchoring the settlement of Pineville and its neighboring communities in the early 21st century. The map reveals a dense network of valley settlements, including Wallsend, Straight Creek, and Arjay, connected by narrow roads that follow the winding paths of Fourmile Cr and Straight Cr. The topography is defined by significant heights like Dorton Hill and the distinctive Chain Rock formation, while the Bird Branch Lookout Tower stands as a sentinel over the eastern hills. This survey is particularly useful for genealogists, as it identifies numerous local burial sites such as Wallsend Cem, Red Hill Cem, Henderson Cem, and Liberty Cem. The arrangement of places like Dorton Branch and Keenox reflects a landscape deeply tied to the natural corridors of the Appalachian coal country, where every branch and hollow carries a family or geographical name.
