2016 Map of Pineville

About this map

Pine Mountain towers over the landscape where the Cumberland River cuts through the ridge, creating a natural gateway for the city of Pineville. This 2016 survey highlights the intricate network of hollows and ridges characteristic of Bell County, with settlements like Wallsend, Straight Creek, and Arjay tucked into the narrow valleys. The presence of numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Wallsend Cem and Red Hill Cem, provides significant value for genealogical research. Landmarks like Chain Rock and Toms Cliffs mark the high elevation points of the northern Cumberland Plateau. Local infrastructure is well-defined by roads tracing the creek beds, including Lewis Mine Rd and Old Dorton Branch Rd, which lead away from the river toward the smaller communities of Dorton Branch and Ivy Grove.
