About this map

Kentucky Lake and the Tennessee River dominate the eastern landscape of this Decatur County region, where the terrain transitions from river bottoms to a complex network of hollows. The settlement at Decaturville serves as a focal point, anchored by the Decatur County Courthouse and the Decaturville City Cem. To the north, Perryville and Beech Bend overlook the water, while the interior is dotted with small communities like Utah and Mount Lebanon.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named sites, from the Wallace Yarbro Cem to the Mount Carmel Church Cem in the southeast. The map reveals the area's agricultural and industrial heritage through features like The Coalings and the Fisher Gravel Pit Rd. The drainage patterns of Rushing Creek and Whites Cr illustrate the deeply dissected topography that has shaped local transport and settlement since the 19th century.
