2015 Map of Davis City

About this map

Thompson River meanders southward through this Decatur County landscape, carving a valley that anchors the primary settlements of Davis City and Decatur City. This modern survey reveals a region defined by agricultural traditions and localized community hubs, where the river's drainage network, including Potteroff Cr and Britton Br, has long influenced the placement of homesteads and thoroughfares. Genealogists will find an unusually high density of burial sites for a single quadrangle, ranging from the Decatur City Cem in the north to the Davis City Cem in the south, along with several family and community grounds like Waller Cem and Gore Cem. The transportation infrastructure is anchored by Interstate 35 and Old US Hwy 69, tracing historical transit corridors between the seat at Leon and the small hamlet of Terre Haute.
