About this map

The Anniston Ordnance Depot dominates the southern landscape of this mid-century survey, revealing a massive grid of specialized infrastructure and storage bunkers west of Eulaton. This military presence is mirrored to the north by the southern reaches of the Fort Mc Clellan Military Reservation, which includes Camp Willett and several Observation Towers. The transition between these tactical zones and civilian life is visible in settlements like West Park Heights, where the West Park Heights Ch and Wellborn Sch serve the local community.

Transportation networks define the region's economy, with the Louisville and Nashville and Southern railroads converging near the depot. Small rural pockets like Peaceburg and Morrisville persist on the margins of the military land, while the heights of Brook Mountain and Coldwater Mountain provide natural boundaries to the industrial and military development. Key local landmarks, including the New Mt Sellers Cem and Lloyds Chapel, offer specific points of interest for those tracing family history in Calhoun County.
