About this map

The Cumberland River curves sharply through the southern portion of this landscape, anchoring the settlement of Pineville and its neighboring community of Wallsend. This river valley and the parallel drainage of Straight Creek serve as the primary corridors for development, bounded to the south by the high ridge of Pine Mountain. Notable landmarks like Chain Rock and Toms Cliffs highlight the dramatic verticality of the terrain, while numerous small hollows and branches define the local geography, such as Gambrel Hollow and Levi Br.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds documented across these hills, including Wallsend Cem, Henderson Cem, Red Hill Cem, and Liberty Cem. The map captures the infrastructure of Bell and Knox counties through a dense network of mountain roads and small settlements like Arjay, Cary, Blanche, and Fourmile. The industrial and residential layout follows the tight constraints of the narrow valley floors, reflecting a long history of coal country settlement patterns.
