1950 Map of Madison
USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
Huntsville Arsenal dominates the eastern half of this landscape, its expansive boundary lines encompassing critical infrastructure like the Huntsville Arsenal Airfield and Huntsville Arsenal Headquarters. To the west, the town of Madison sits along the Southern railroad line, serving as a settled counterpoint to the military reservation. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations including Rainbow Mountain, Ward Mountain, and Madkin Mountain, which overlook a network of rural roads and family landmarks. In the south, the landscape transitions into the Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge where the waters of the Wheeler Reservoir meet the mouths of Indian Creek and Barren Fk Cr. Genealogists will find numerous small burial grounds and community centers, from the Royal Cem and Farley Cem to local congregations at Payne Chapel and Spring Hill Ch.
