About this map

Decatur’s northern expansion dominates this late-twentieth-century landscape, where suburban growth meets the persistent grid of Macon County’s agricultural heritage. The community of Forsyth serves as a central hub, flanked by the residential pockets of Larkdale and Greens Switch. Institutional landmarks are prominent throughout the northern reaches of the city, including Stephen Decatur High Sch, Adlai E Stevenson Sch, and Our Lady of Lourdes Sch.

Natural drainage patterns like Stevens Creek and Kickapoo Creek weave through the terrain, occasionally interrupted by industrial and recreational features such as a Gravel Pit or the local Golf Course. The infrastructure of the era is clearly defined by major interchanges, specifically Interchange 141 and Interchange 144, which facilitate the connection between the city and outlying areas like Oreana and Emery.
