2016 Map of Leatherwood

About this map

The Buffalo River meanders through the heart of this Perry and Wayne County landscape, carving dramatic bends such as Whitaker Bend, Stone Bend, and Bastin Bend. The village of Flat Woods serves as a central point of settlement along Old State Hwy 13, while the community of Leatherwood is established further south near Beech Cr. The map is particularly dense with small family and community burial grounds, including the Popes Chapel Cem, Merideth Cem, and Throgmorton Cem, providing significant data for genealogical research in this rural Tennessee highland. The terrain is defined by a complex network of hollows and ridges, such as Whitehead Ridge and Sharp Hollow, which have long dictated the path of local travel and agriculture. Notable river crossings and landmarks like Bartley Bridge and Pine Bluff further anchor the geography of this mid-2010s survey.
