Decatur is defined by its deep relationship with the Sangamon River, which feeds the expansive Lake Decatur that dominates the central portion of this map. The city's industrial and academic identity is represented by Millikin University and the specialized infrastructure of the A E Staley Cooling Lake. For genealogists and local researchers, the map is remarkably dense with burial grounds, ranging from the large Greenwood Cem and Graceland Cem near the city center to smaller sites like Spangler Cem and Mount Zion Presbyterian Cem to the southeast.
