This 1887 map of Anniston, Calhoun County, shows the layout of the town as it appeared at that time and was created for the Anniston City Land Company by German-born map maker Henry Wellge. The city was envisioned as an idealized planned community by founders Samuel Noble and Daniel Tyler, both industrialists from South Carolina.
