2011 Map of Forest Home

About this map

Forest Home serves as the primary hub of this rural Butler County landscape, marked by its namesake Forest Home Post Office and a network of county roads like County Hwy-46. The terrain is defined by a dense web of waterways, most notably Pine Barren Creek and Panther Creek, which carve through the countryside near small settlements such as Herbert and Saucer. Local heritage is anchored in family and community burial grounds, including Watts Cemetery and the Shacklesville Cemetery near the crossroads of Shacklesville. Further west, Butler Springs appears as a distinct cluster near English Pond, illustrating the typical dispersed settlement pattern of the Alabama coastal plain. The presence of several named branches and branches like Black Branch and Tenmile Branch highlights the intricate drainage system vital to the local topography and land use.
