1951 Map of Leatherwood

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Buffalo River meanders through the heart of this mid-century survey, defining a landscape of deep bends and high ridges at the border of Perry and Wayne counties. The waterway is a focal point for local navigation, marked by numerous river crossings including Slink Shoals Ford, Bunch Ford, and Big Rock Ford. Small settlements like Flat Woods and Leatherwood serve as anchors for the surrounding rural hollows. High points such as Whitehead Ridge and Smith Hill look down over a network of family-named cemeteries, including Merideth Cem, Pitts Cem, and Throgmorton Cem, which are invaluable for genealogical research. The primitive Meat Road and various tracks connecting sites like the Flat Woods Lookout Tower reflect the upland timber and agricultural character of the region during this era.
