About this map

The Anniston Ordnance Depot dominates this post-war landscape, revealing the massive grid of storage bunkers and infrastructure established in Calhoun County. North of the depot, the Fort McClellan Military Reservation encompasses the Pelham Range, where the terrain transitions from the valley floors to the heights of Coldwater Mountain. The map provides a detailed view of the interaction between military expansion and established rural communities such as Morrisville, Peaceburg, and Eulaton.

Researchers will find important genealogical landmarks, including Leatherwood Ch and the New Mt Sellers Cem, along with the New Bethel Cem situated near the Reservation Boundary. The transportation network is anchored by the Louisville and Nashville and Southern railroads, which facilitated the region's industrial and military movements. Natural features like Cane Creek and Cane Brook wind through the hills, punctuated by a Lookout Tower overlooking the tactical ranges.
