1956 Map of Oxford
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Hobson City and Oxford stand at the edge of the Talladega National Forest, where the industrial and municipal growth of eastern Alabama meets the high ridges of the Appalachian foothills. This landscape is defined by the proximity of community centers like the Rising Star Ch and County Training Sch to the natural corridors of Choecolocco Creek. Transportation hubs including Lee Brothers Airfield and the Anniston Municipal Airport reflect the era's mid-century aviation and transit expansion. Southward, the map transitions into heavily forested terrain, where the Lookout Tower Kentuck Ranger Sta overlooks peaks like Kentuck Mountain and Horseblock Mountain. This map records a specific social geography, documenting numerous local congregations such as Sweet Rock Ch and Bethlehem Ch that served as the anchors for rural settlements like Boiling Spring and McAding.
