1950 Map of Anniston

About this map

Anniston serves as the industrial and military anchor of this North Alabama landscape, flanked by the sprawling Fort McClellan Military Reservation to the north and the massive Anniston Ordnance Depot to the west. The mid-century urban core shows a dense street grid radiating from the Southern and Louisville & Nashville railroad corridors, while nearby Hobson City and Oxford represent established community hubs. To the south, the terrain shifts into the protected woodland of the Talladega National Forest, where landmarks like Pine Mountain and Horseblock Mountain rise above the drainage of Choccolocco Creek.
