1954 Map of Leatherwood

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Leatherwood and Yeaddiss anchor this mid-century portrait of the Kentucky coalfields, where the narrow valleys of Leslie, Perry, and Harlan Counties converge. The industrial heartbeat of the area is traced by the Louisville and Nashville railroad, which follows the winding course of Leatherwood Creek and Clover Fork. The map reveals a remarkably dense network of rural schoolhouses, suggesting a period of high community activity in these remote mountain hollows. From Livingston Sch to Beech Fork Sch, these labels indicate the location of civic life before the era of widespread school consolidation.
