About this map

Leatherwood and the surrounding headwaters of the Kentucky River system define this landscape in Perry County. The settlement of Yeaddiss serves as a local focal point near the Po, where the waters of Cutshin Cr wind through the topography. This area is characterized by a dense network of named drainages, such as Clover Fork, Lynn Fork, and Right Fork Cutshin Cr, which have historically dictated the placement of roads and small communities.

Smaller settlements like Big Rock and Big Fork are situated along these narrow valleys, connected by a web of local routes including Loyd Fork Rd and Dixon Sparkman Ln. The intricate naming of minor features, from Hogtrough Hollow to Beech Bottom Br, reflects a deeply localized geography where every hollow and branch has its own identity, providing a clear record of the rural land use and navigation patterns in the early 21st century.
