1950 Map of Madison

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Madison stands as a rail-centered hub in the mid-century, bisected by the Southern railroad line while the surrounding countryside transitions toward heavy federal use. To the east and south, the Huntsville Arsenal Boundary demarcates a massive military footprint, containing the Huntsville Arsenal Headquarters and Huntsville Arsenal Airfield. This military landscape stands in sharp contrast to the established rural character found at Rainbow Mountain and the small communities like Westlawn and Brandontown.
