About this map

The rolling plains of Decatur County are defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and rural sanctuaries, as seen in this 2012 United States Geological Survey record. The land is drained by the S Fork Sappa Cr in the northwest and the branching Prairie Dog Cr system in the south, including the N Fork Prairie Dog Cr and Big Timber Cr.

Evidence of the area's social and religious history is found at several distinct burial sites and places of worship. The Lund Church Cem and the Mennonite Cem reflect the heritage of early agricultural settlers, while the Shibboleth Cem sits near the banks of the creek. A modern transportation grid, anchored by Highway 83, provides the structure for the agricultural landscape, connecting isolated homesteads and farmland across these high plains.
