USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
The Huntsville Arsenal Reservation dominates the landscape of Madison County in the late 1940s, marking a period of significant military expansion. This transition from rural farmland to a defense-focused geography is evident as the Huntsville Arsenal Boundary bisects the terrain, encompassing the Huntsville Arsenal Airfield and the Huntsville Arsenal Headquarters. To the north and west, the town of Madison remains a hub for the Southern Railway, which connects smaller settlements like Brandontown and Elko across the lowlands.
