Sappa Creek winds through the heart of Decatur County, shaping a landscape defined by small rural school districts and family cemeteries in the early 1950s. The settlement of Kanona serves as a central point along the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad line, which cuts diagonally across the southern townships of Center and Altory. This survey documents a transitioning rural infrastructure, noting several sites already out of use, such as the Sherman Center Cem (Abandoned) and the Sherman Center Sch (Abandoned) in the northwest corner.
