2014 Map of Forest Home

About this map

Forest Home sits at the northern edge of this Butler County landscape, serving as a focal point for a region defined by its winding creek systems and small rural settlements. The terrain is deeply etched by watercourses such as Pine Barren Cr and Redicks Cr, which create a complex network of ridges and hollows that dictate the local road patterns. The distribution of family and community landmarks, such as Watts Cem and Hickory Grove Cem, reflects a deeply rooted settlement history. Movement through this area is centered on the Pineapple Hwy, connecting the communities of Saucer and Butler Springs. To the south, Shacklesville and Herbert represent the enduring character of Alabama's rural interior, where the land use remains closely tied to the natural drainage of basins like Long Cr and Panther Cr.
