Historic Map - Anniston, AL - 1903
Description
Bird's eye view looking northwest, city of Anniston, Calhoun County, Alabama. Drawn by C. N. Dry.
Reproduction bird's-eye view map of Anniston, Alabama looking northwest, drawn by Camille N. Dry and published by Chas. Hart Co. in 1903. Located on the slope of Blue Mountain, Anniston was nicknamed "Model City" because of its particularly careful planning. Rich mineral deposits had made Anniston an important asset to the south during the Civil War where an iron furnace had been established. Union troops destroyed the furnace in 1865. In 1872 the furnace was rebuilt on a grander scale by The Woodstock Iron Company, and a town was planned. The initial name used was "Woodstock", but was soon after renamed Anniston, after Annie Scott Tyler, the wife of a Union railroad president, General Daniel Tyler. Anniston's economy was mostly boosted by the iron, steel and clay pipe industry.
The map features clearly labeled street names showing railroad traffic.
