About this map

Daniel Boone National Forest dominates this section of Perry County, where the steep terrain of the Cumberland Plateau is deeply incised by a dense network of waterways. Small settlements and local hubs like Leatherwood and Yeaddis are found along the valley floors, following the natural corridors carved by streams. The proximity of the Yeaddis Post Office to Cutshin Creek and the surrounding timberlands illustrates the traditional reliance on narrow bottomlands for community life and transport.

Transport patterns here are dictated by the topography, with routes like Yeaddis Rd and Old Big Rock Rd winding through the gaps and hollows. The landscape is defined by its many drainage systems, from the Beech Fork in the north to the Right Fork Cutshin Creek further south. Notable named landmarks such as Hogtrough Hollow and Big Rock offer specific reference points for researchers tracing land tracts or family locations in this mountainous region.
