1961 Map of Pecan Creek

About this map

Decatur anchors the southern edge of this Wise County landscape, serving as a hub where the Fort Worth and Denver railroad and the Old Decatur Road converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including Pecan Creek, Catlett Creek, and Black Creek, which weave through the prairie and post oak topography. Local heritage is preserved in the presence of Oaklawn Cemetery and Flat Rock Cemetery, alongside the Oak Grove Church, marking the spiritual and communal centers of the era.
