About this map

Oxford is positioned at the base of the mountains in Franklin County, where the valley floor meets the high peaks of the Portneuf Range. This 2011 survey documents a landscape defined by significant water management and elevation changes, from the heights of Oxford Peak and Oxford Basin down to the Oxford Reservoir. The settlement pattern follows the north-south corridors of the N Westside Hwy and Old Oxford Hwy S, connecting local landmarks like the Oxford Cemetery to the smaller community of Swanlake further north.

Hydrological features dominate the eastern half of the quadrangle, notably the Swan Lake Slough and Marsh Creek, which flow through the marshy lowlands near Red Rock Pass. The map also captures several deep canyons and drainages, including Rockslide Canyon and Gooseberry Creek, which channel water toward the agricultural developments in the valley. To the north, Red Rock Junction serves as a critical point in the regional road network, marking the passage between the high country and the wetlands.
