Saint-Martin-le-Pin ( Occitan Sent Martin lu Pench ) is a municipality with 271 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2017) in the French department Dordogne in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region . It belongs to the canton of Nontron and from 2015 to the newly created canton of Périgord Vert Nontronnais . The responsible community association is the Communauté de communes du Périgord Nontronnais . The inhabitants are called Saint-Martins or Saint-Martines .
etymology
Saint-Martin-le-Pin was first mentioned in writing in 1252 as Sanctus Martinus Pictus (the painted Saint Martin). This corresponds to the Occitan form Sent Martin lu Pench . The parish name refers to Saint Martin , Bishop of Tours in the 4th century. Before 1789 the community was called Saint Martin le Peint , as can be seen on the French Carte de Cassini from 1756 to 1789. As a result, Saint Martin had nothing to do with the “pine” tree, but was “painted”. During the National Convention (1792 to 1795), the community was named Le Chêne-Vert (green oak).

The municipality of Saint-Martin-le-Pin includes several mills, hamlets, isolated farms and landmarks such as Ars, Au Combaou, Blanchetière, Bosredon, Chantemerle, Chez Bini, Chez Garni, Chez Thomas, Crachat, Jourdonnière, La Borderie, La Chapoulie, La Combe au Cros, La Tuilière, Lacaud, Le Four à Chaux, Le Glabonnet, Le Grand Village, Le Meynissou, Le Moulin d'Ars, Le Moulin de chez Jouanaud, Le Moulin de la Côte, Les Cazes, Les Crêpes, Les Grands Bois, Les Vignes, Lespinasse, Loradour, Mérignac, Pas Brouillet, Piquepaille, Ribeyrolles, Talivaud and Tranchecouyère .
The topographically lowest point of the municipality is 127 meters above sea level on the Bandiat in the northwest near Les Guétières , the highest point at 302 meters southeast of Les Grands Bois on the border with Nontron . The absolute height difference is 175 meters. The town center is located at 171 meters.
Hydrography
The border to the municipality of Nontron is formed by the south-west flowing Ruisseau des Vergnes , a small right-hand tributary of the Bandiats. In the south-west, the municipality reaches the Bandiat itself, which at the same time represents the border with the neighboring municipalities of Saint-Martial-de-Valette and Lussas-et-Nontronneau . In the northwest, Saint-Martin-le-Pin reaches the Doue , also a right-hand tributary of the Bandiat, which is also the border river to the neighboring municipality of Javerlhac-et-la-Chapelle-Saint-Robert and further northeast to Le Bourdeix . The further border to Le Bourdeix is formed by the Ruisseau de Combas , which branches off from the Doue towards east-south-east. The Ruisseau de Saint-Martin , which flows off to the west and acts as another right tributary of the Bandiat, passes by the town center . The community also has several dry valleys , all of which are oriented to the southwest and flow into the Bandiat on the right. Examples are the valleys at Ars , at Talivaud , at Ribeyrolles and at Mérignac .
geology
The integrity of the municipality of Saint-Martin-le-Pin is underlain by the Variscan basement ( Piégut-Pluviers-Granodiorit in its coarse-grained normal facies γ 3M ). The granodiorite is transgressed in the municipal area by flat-lying sediments from the northeastern Aquitaine Basin ( Lias ) and thus largely masked - the basic conglomerate can only just be seen near La Chapoulie . There follow arkose and Dolomite the Hettangiums (Formation L1-4 ), shales and marls of Pliensbachiums / Toarciums (Formation l5-9 ) and then granular limestone of the Doggers ( Bajocium - formations J1A , J1B and J1C ).
A southeast-northwest trending fault zone traverses Nontron , where the northeast half has been lifted out. It probably represents the trough shoulder of the Bandiat trench . This fault is in part very heavily mineralized , with barite , lead galena , greenockite , pyrite and sphalerite , which were also mined in the place earlier , as mineral grades . A smaller open gallery (Mine de la Mairie) has been preserved. In association with the fault zone, silicic acid-containing solutions penetrated , which in some cases led to a very significant recrystallization and silicification of the Jurassic grave sediments - especially the limestone of central Jurassic.
Continental tertiary sediments poured out of the Massif Central form both a fossil river system (formation HF ) and colluvium of the plateau and hillside locations (formation HC ), both of which mask the Jurassic subsoil. The river system follows a ridge that closes the northern side of the valley of the Ruisseau de Saint-Martin and runs down from La Borderie to the Bandiat.
At Ars the bandiat left a Pleistocene central terrace on the right side of the valley (formation Fw ). The river bed itself runs in the Holocene alluvium (formation Fy-z ), as does that of the Doue and the Ruisseau de Saint-Martin .
