About this map

Decatur serves as the regional hub in this 2016 survey, where a complex network of residential streets like W Main St and S State St centers around the historic Wise County seat. The landscape to the southeast transitions into a mix of rural prairie and increasing suburban development near New Fairview. Aviation history is particularly well-represented here, with multiple facilities including Decatur Municipal Airport, Mc Entire Airport, and the small Flat Bush Airport scattered across the terrain.

Watercourses such as Sweetwater Cr and Walnut Cr carve through the countryside, punctuated by local landmarks like Pat Dick Hill and Sand Hill. For those tracing family history, several burial grounds are documented, including Bethel Cem, Annaville Cem, and Sand Hill Cem. The map illustrates the contemporary intersection of established ranching geography and the expanding transportation corridor along the highway toward the settlement of Herman.
