About this map

The Anniston Ordnance Depot and Fort McClellan Military Reservation dominate this mid-century landscape in Calhoun County. The presence of these massive installations significantly shaped the local geography, showing extensive networks of bunkers and service roads that overlay the traditional rural character of the area. Outside the base boundaries, small communities like Eulaton and Peaceburg maintain their identity through local landmarks such as Lloyds Chapel and West Park Heights Ch.

Transportation corridors define the southern and eastern edges of the map, where the Southern and Louisville and Nashville railroads provide industrial connections. The terrain rises sharply from the banks of Cane Creek toward the northern heights of Brook Mountain and the southern prominence of Coldwater Peak. Scattered cemeteries, including New Mt Sellers Cem and New Bethel Cem, offer valuable touchpoints for genealogists tracing families in the vicinity of Leatherwood and Tarsus.
