About this map

Decatur and Gentry anchor the landscape of western Benton County, connected by the north-south corridor of the Kansas City Southern railroad. This modern survey illustrates a rural region defined by its hydrology, where spring-fed systems and hollows create a complex drainage network. Water is a central theme, from the clustered Guerrero Lake Number One, Two, and Three to the localized Corner Spring and the larger Crystal Lake near the Crystal Lake Airport.

Genealogists and local historians can find precision in the locations of the Decatur Cem, Springtown Cem, and Gentry Cem, which sit near their respective early settlements. The terrain is marked by distinctive named depressions such as Columbia Hollow and Pawpaw Hollow, while Springtown remains a focal point in the southern portion of the quadrangle near the confluence of Flint Creek and its various prongs.
