## Flag

Hi, I saw the website and noticed you guys don't have the flag of Decatur county I am a resident in the county and I have a photo of the flag if you guys wanted to use it.
Troy Robertson, 8 November 2025

The flag is white with the seal centered, and narrow yellow-light blue-green vertical stripes on the fly. it can be seen at https://www.facebook.com/photo.php, the county’s presence in Facebook.

The seal's diameter is roughly 4/5ths of the flag's height; the seal's rim is white and very wide, about 1/8th of the flag's height, its outer edge separated from the flag background by a double black stroke, very wideset, and the inner edge is singly lined but doubly thick. Arched at the top side of the rim the inscription "Decatur County", set in light Souvenir capitals and the date "1845" at the bottom, set also in Souvenir but bold and not arched.

## Seal

The seal is divided horizontally into two halves by a relatively thick amber diameter line: The upper part is a naturalistic riverine scene, with a raccoon perched on a fallen tree in the foreground, the animal in black and white and the trunk in brown on a patch of green ground, everything with black details; in foreground an expanse of river water in light blue and a green tree line on the far shore, all against a white sky; on the river at the fly side a black and white motorboat seen in profile with its bow facing the hoist, and at the hoist side a large brown rock or cliff with black details.
The lower half of the seal has its own (half)rim, red with white text set in sans serif capitals and the remaining half disk is white, divided in three identical sectors by amber radius lines: Each of these sectors has a caption on the red rim, each arched and centered on its own third, reading, from hoist to fly, Parsons, Decaturville, and Scotts Hill; inside each sector tokens of each town's landmarks and/or main activities – respectively, from the center outwards: for Parsons, a red cross, a heavy duty mining
dumper truck, drawn in black, and a factory, drawn in brown. The middle sector, for Decaturville, shows two books, the scales of Justice, and a stylized Greek portico (Unesco-style), all drawn in brown
(but the books with additional black lining). For Scotts Hill, at the fly side, three party balloons – amber, red, and light blue, tied with black strings gathered at the far end; this element takes up the pointed part of the sector with the remaining area filled up with the two other elements set side-by-side (not stacked, as in the other two towns) – namely a tree, with green foliage and brown trunk, and a tractor in green and black, seen sideways.
