Pine Mountain forms the dramatic backbone of this Central Appalachian landscape, marking the rugged boundary where Kentucky and Virginia meet. The area is defined by its strategic mountain passes and the headwaters of major drainage systems, including the Kentucky River and the Pound River. The settlement pattern follows the narrow valleys, with the coal towns of Jenkins and McRoberts appearing as significant industrial hubs served by the L and N RR. These communities, along with Dunham and Burdine, reflect the early 20th-century economic expansion into the Cumberland Plateau.
