2010 Map of Decatur

About this map

Decatur and the surrounding Brown County landscape are defined by a complex network of waterways, where the West Fork Eagle Creek and East Fork Eagle Creek converge near Neel. This 2010 survey illustrates the deep-rooted rural character of the region, anchored by the Decatur Post Office and several small community centers like Eckmansville and Fairview. The terrain is marked by numerous named valleys and ridges, including Decan Hollow and Hickory Ridge, which have long shaped local travel and settlement patterns. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Liberty Chapel Cemetery and Bissinger Cemetery. The map also preserves the memory of early transportation infrastructure, most notably the Narrow Gauge Rd in the north and the structural landmark of the Eagle Creek Bridge.
