2010 Map of Pecan Creek

About this map

Pecan Creek and its many tributaries, including Catlett Creek and Twin Pond Creek, define the landscape of this Wise County region just north of Decatur. The area is characterized by an extensive water management system, illustrated by numerous Soil Conservation Service dams such as Soil Conservation Service Site 18a-1 Dam and Soil Conservation Service Site 23a Dam. These structures are integrated into a rural network of county roads and private lanes that connect family-named landmarks and local burial grounds. Genealogists and local historians can locate Flat Rock Cemetery near the upper reaches of Black Creek or find Oaklawn Cemetery situated along Greenwood Rd. The map also traces the path of Old Decatur Rd and several primary routes like FM 730 and Bus 81 Bus 287 as they traverse the countryside.
