About this map

Buffalo River winding through the central corridor defines the geography of this rural Tennessee landscape on the border of Perry and Wayne counties. The settlement patterns are distinctly centered around the river and its numerous tributaries, with the village of Flat Woods and the community of Leatherwood serving as primary hubs. The terrain is deeply incised by a network of hollows, including Boldin Hollow and Jack Hollow, which have historically dictated the placement of roads and family homesteads.

Local history and genealogy are particularly prominent on this sheet, evidenced by more than twenty named burial sites. Researchers can trace family ties at the Holt Family Cem, William Riley Cem, and Popes Chapel Cem. The transportation network, ranging from Old State Hwy 13 to winding local routes like Whitaker Bend Dr, illustrates how the community remains anchored to the ridges and valleys between Pine Bluff and Stone Ridge.
