About this map

The winding course of Choccolocco Creek and its many tributaries, including Cheaha Creek and Eastaboga Creek, dominate this mid-century landscape on the border of Talladega and Calhoun counties. The area is characterized by a mix of agricultural valley land and significant military and industrial presence. To the north, the Anniston Ordnance Depot Military Reservation occupies a large tract, while the central portion features the Anniston Air Force Base (Inactive), reflecting the post-war status of these defense installations.

Small settlements and community hubs are scattered throughout, from the town of Lincoln along the Southern railroad to the rural centers of Eastaboga and Old Eastaboga. Local history is anchored by numerous country churches such as Craig Memorial Ch and Pine Grove Ch, alongside local schools like the Salem Sch. The map also captures remnants of earlier industry at Smiths Mill and the strategic placement of a Transformer Station near the rail line.
