1961 Map of Oxford

About this map

The village of Oxford serves as a focal point in this 1961 survey, where the Chicago and North Western railroad provides a critical transportation corridor through a landscape defined by glacial lakes and sandstone formations. Prominent bluffs like Pilot Knob Bluff, Horseshoe Bluff, and Spring Bluff rise above the surrounding terrain, marking the geological character of the region. The map reveals a deeply established rural community, documented through numerous small-scale landmarks such as St Methodius Ch, South Burr Oak Ch, and Lincoln Sch. Significant water bodies, including Lawrence Lake, Pleasant Lake, and Neenah Creek, are central to the area's geography. Smaller settlements like Grand Marsh and Brooks are depicted with their local road networks, and many rural cemeteries like Pine Grove Cem and Gould Rock Cem provide essential data for those researching local family histories in this part of Wisconsin.
