About this map

The community of Forum serves as a central hub for this Madison County landscape, where the Forum Post Office and Forum Lookout Tower stand near the intersection of several local routes. The settlement pattern reveals the distinct locations of Alabam and Old Alabam, offering a clear look at how this community transitioned over time. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the winding path of the Kings River, while the southwest includes the northern reaches of Withrow Springs State Park along War Eagle Creek. Numerous family burial sites, such as Marshall Cemetery, McClain Cemetery, and Fritts Cemetery, are scattered across the hills and hollows, providing valuable markers for genealogists tracing local lineage. The terrain is further defined by several named landmarks including Jelico Hollow and Postoak Gap.
