1947 Map of Oxford

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Oxford Lake and the Southern Railway corridor anchor this post-war landscape where the city of Oxford meets the foothills of the Talladega National Forest. The map documents a diverse community structure, from the municipal hub of Anniston and the historic incorporated town of Hobson City to small, specialized settlements like Lardent and McAding. This 1947 field survey captures the area just as the Anniston Municipal Airport was becoming a regional fixture and rural life remained centered on country churches such as Pure Holiness Ch and Bethlehem Ch.
