2018 Map of Forest Home

About this map

Forest Home and Butler Springs anchor this portion of Butler County, where small rural settlements are linked by a network of winding roads like Forest Home Rd and Shackleville Rd. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of numerous creeks, including Pine Barren Cr, Redicks Cr, and Brestwork Cr, which carve through the undulating terrain. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies several distinct burial grounds that mark the locations of early community centers, such as Forest Home Cem, Butler Springs Cem, and the more secluded Watts Cem. The presence of smaller locales like Saucer and Shacklesville suggests a historical pattern of decentralized farming communities, many established near reliable water sources like English Pond or the banks of Wolf Cr.
