1956 Map of Anniston

About this map

Anniston serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, surrounded by its industrial and residential outskirts as they appeared before the 1970s. The landscape transitions from the urban core toward the Skeleton Mountains and Silver Ridge to the east, dominated by the sprawling Fort McClellan Military Reservation. The influence of the Southern railroad is evident, anchoring early industrial sites and outlying settlements like Blue Mountain and Cobb Town.
