Leatherwood Creek and its watershed
|
Leatherwood Creek is a tributary of Wills Creek, 28.6 miles (46.0 km) long, in eastern Ohio in the United States. Via Wills Creek and the Muskingum and Ohio rivers, it is part of the watershed of the Mississippi River, draining an area of 91.6 square miles (237 km2) on the unglaciated portion of the Allegheny Plateau.
Leatherwood Creek rises just outside the western boundary of the village of Barnesville in Warren Township in Belmont County and flows generally westward, first through a small portion of northeastern Beaver Township in Noble County, and into Guernsey County where it flows through Millwood, Richland, Wills, Center, and Cambridge townships, and through the villages of Quaker City, Salesville, and Lore City. It flows into Wills Creek in the southern part of the city of Cambridge.
