1956 Map of Oxford

About this map

Oxford and southern Anniston sit at the intersection of industry and nature in the mid-1950s, bounded by the peaks of Horseblock Mountain and Oak Mtn. The landscape reveals a complex network of community landmarks, including the County Training Sch and numerous country churches like Oak Ridge Ch and Pure Holiness Ch that anchored local life. To the south, the terrain transitions into the dense woods of the Talladega National Forest and Kentuck State Park, where the Kentuck Ranger Sta and Duck Nest Springs are situated away from the urban center.
