2022 Map of Pecan Creek

About this map

Decatur and its surrounding countryside in Wise County are defined by a complex network of waterways and extensive conservation lands. Much of the northern terrain is occupied by the Lyndon B. Johnson National Grassland, a sprawling protected landscape characterized by intermittent drainage into Black Cr and Denton Cr. The southern portion of the area shows the interface between the growing settlement of Decatur and its rural outskirts, featuring the Decatur Municipal Airport and the local country club. The road network here follows historical routes, including Old Decatur Rd and Old Greenwood Rd, which skirt the numerous tributaries like Catlett Cr and Pecan Cr. For genealogists and local historians, the map provides precise locations for long-standing burial sites such as Oaklawn Cem and Flat Rock Cem, positioned near the winding creek beds that shaped early land holdings.
