2019 Map of Pioneer

About this map

Pine Mountain dominates the eastern expanse of this survey, where the rugged topography of the Cumberland Plateau meets the small communities of northern Campbell County. The high ridgelines are carved by numerous waterways like Elk Fork Cr and Stinking Cr, defining a landscape where travel remains focused along historic routes such as Old Hwy 63 and Newcomb Pike. Small settlements like Pioneer and Elk Valley are situated in the lower elevations, surrounded by family landmarks such as Lay Cem and Meredith Cem. The map illustrates the persistent influence of the Scott and Campbell County line, which traverses several high points including Ned Mtn. This document captures the modern state of these rural highlands, showcasing how contemporary infrastructure and longstanding residential patterns coexist among prominent geological features like Hackle Knob and Gunsight Mtn.
