About this map

Decatur anchor the southern portion of this landscape, where the town’s northern growth meets a complex network of rural roads and watercourses. The northern reaches of the quadrangle are dominated by the Lyndon B. Johnson National Grassland, a significant public land tract that preserves the open character of the region. This terrain is defined by its hydrology, with Pecan Creek, Catlett Cr, and the Black Creek Reservoir carving paths through the rolling Wise County topography.

Local history and genealogy interests are well-represented by long-standing landmarks such as Oaklawn Cem near the town center and the more rural Flat Rock Cem to the northwest. The presence of two aviation facilities, Decatur Municipal Airport and the private Lazy 9 Ranch Airport, alongside a web of local routes like Old Decatur Rd and Old Greenwood Rd, illustrates the evolution of transportation in this part of North Texas.
