About this map

Decatur and Gentry anchor this survey of Benton County's agricultural and aviation landscape during the mid-2010s. The Kansas City Southern RR serves as a primary north-south spine through the territory, linking these established communities while passing through notable terrain features like Coon Hollow and Columbia Hollow. Local history is preserved in the location of several burial grounds, including Decatur Cem, Springtown Cem, and Gentry Cem, which are interspersed among the town grids and rural crossings.

The hydrology of the region is defined by the headwaters of Little Flint Creek and North Flint Creek, alongside man-made water bodies such as Crystal Lake and the series of numbered lakes including Guerrero Lake Number One. The presence of the Crystal Lake Airport near Decatur indicates the modernization of local transport, while the surrounding road network, including Chicken Road and Peterson Farm Road, reflects the area's continued commitment to poultry and traditional farming operations.
