About this map

Pioneer and the neighboring settlement of Buckeye sit at the base of Pine Mountain and Little Cumberland Mountain in this Campbell County study. The landscape is defined by the Southern railroad line, which tracks alongside the narrow valleys of Little Fork and Titus Creek. This 1936 survey, compiled from aerial photography, captures the coal and transportation infrastructure of the era, specifically noting an Abandoned Mine west of the Pioneer settlement.

The development of the region is further illustrated by the path of State Highway No 63, which winds through the mountain passes. Numerous watercourses such as Mill Branch and Swamp Branch feed into the larger creek systems, while several Tennessee Valley Authority survey markers, including T Tr 81 E, indicate the extensive topographical work being conducted by federal agencies in the Tennessee Valley during the mid-1930s.
