PIKEVILLE, Ky. – They call this “the city that moves mountains.” Pikeville cut through Peach Orchard Mountain to relieve flooding and create more level land downtown. States have made steep cuts across mountainsides all over Appalachia to build new four-lane highways. Other mountains have been moved to get at the coal underneath them.For 100 years, the hardy miners of Appalachia dug tunnels under the mountains, breaking off chunks of coal with nine-pound hammers.
