2013 Map of Leapwood

About this map

Leapwood and the surrounding rural communities of Mount Zion and Mud Creek anchor this survey of McNairy County, Tennessee. The landscape is heavily defined by its water management, featuring significant engineered waterways such as the Snake Creek Canal and the White Oak Creek Canal, which run alongside their natural counterparts like Snake Creek and White Oak Creek. These canals suggest a history of reclaiming bottomlands for agriculture, particularly in areas like Enville Bottom. Local history researchers will find many family-named landmarks and infrastructure, including Hardin Graveyard Road and Combs Cemetery Road, indicating long-standing familial ties to the land. The topography rises toward the west at Clover Hill and Bald Knob, while the road network connects smaller settlements via routes like Beauty Hill Road and Winding Ridge.
