1961 Map of Pecan Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

Decatur and its immediate rural surroundings are captured here at a moment of transition during the early 1960s, with land-use revisions reflecting changes through the mid-1970s. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of Black Creek, Pecan Creek, and Catlett Creek, which carve through the terrain and dictate the placement of early road networks like Decatur Road. The southern edge of the quadrangle shows the expansion of the town near Oaklawn Cem, while the outlying areas remain anchored by community landmarks such as Flat Rock Ch and its adjacent Flat Rock Cem. The map reveals a diversified local economy, where traditional agriculture intersects with extractive industries like the Gravel Pit and the development of the North Southeast Bryson Oil Field. Aviation and scientific infrastructure are also evident in the presence of the Decatur Airfield and the Decatur Magnetic station, marking the town's regional importance.
