About this map

Decatur serves as the central hub of this North Texas survey, characterized by its grid of urban streets transitioning into a network of rural county roads. The landscape is defined by the drainage basins of Sweetwater Creek and Oliver Creek, with the elevation marked by Pat Dick Hill to the south. Notable for local historians and genealogists are the scattered burial grounds that dot the countryside, including Bethel Cemetery in the northwest and Annaville Cemetery near the southern boundary.

A transportation-oriented economy is evident through features like the Texas Tourist Camp and small aviation facilities such as McEntire Airport and Red Ace Ranch Airport. Outside the main settlement of Decatur, smaller locales like Herman sit along the primary road corridors. The map records a modern era of rural infrastructure, where established creeks like Walnut Creek and Waggoner Branch intersect with a dense numbering system of county roads that facilitate movement across Wise County.
