1992 Map of Decatur
USGS Topo · Published 1995About this map
The St Marys River winds through the heart of this landscape, anchoring the city of Decatur as it sits at the junction of the Norfolk and Western railroad and several historic regional routes like Piqua Road and Winchester Road. This 1992 revision reveals a well-established civic center featuring a Courthouse, Library, and County Hospital, surrounded by an extensive network of drainage ditches such as Ohler Ditch and Weber Ditch that transformed the prairie into productive farmland. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous documented burial sites and rural congregations, including St Josephs Cemetery, Union Chapel Cem, and Mt Pleasant Ch. From the industrial Kilns near the city center to the outlying County Home and the small settlement at Monmouth, the map provides a look at the intersection of local industry and rural Adams County life.
