About this map

Westport serves as the primary hub of this 2019 landscape, situated at the confluence of agricultural fields and local waterways in southern Decatur County. The town's layout is defined by W Main St and Kentucky Ave, with the Old Westport Cem and Westport Cem providing significant genealogical touchpoints for the community. Surrounding the town, smaller settlements like Letts, Letts Corner, and Harper remain connected by an extensive grid of county roads, such as S State Rd 3 and Iron Mine Rd.

The terrain is dissected by numerous watercourses, including Sand Creek, Wyalousing Creek, and Cobbs Fork. These streams create natural boundaries and geographic interest, as seen near the Horseshoe Bend Cem along Sand Creek. The high density of family-named and church-affiliated burial grounds, including the Lower Union Presbyterian Cem, Old Burks Chapel Cem, and Eddleman Cem, suggests a long-established rural community with deep roots in the land between the Decatur and Jennings county lines.
