About this map

Military and industrial operations dominate this mid-century landscape of Calhoun County, defined by the expansive Fort McClellan Military Reservation and the grid-like infrastructure of the Anniston Ordnance Depot. The terrain transitions from the heights of Brook Mountain and Coldwater Mountain in the south down to the valley floors where the Louisville and Nashville and Southern railroads intersect near Mahlep and Rush.

Local life is concentrated in small settlements such as Morrisville, Peaceburg, and Eulaton, which serve as anchor points for rural families alongside Wellborn Sch and New Bethel Ch. Genealogists will find interest in localized sites like New Mt Spheris Cem and the Anniston Cem, while the presence of an Aqueduct and numerous Observation Towers reflects the specialized land use required by the neighboring military installations during the post-war era.
