About this map

Oxford anchors the southwestern corner of this survey, dominated by the campus of Miami University-Oxford. The landscape transitions from the urban street grid of the university town into a rural patchwork of farmsteads and creek valleys defined by Four Mile Creek and Sevenmile Creek. To the north, the small settlements of Somerville and Morning Sun are connected by a network of rural roads such as the Hamilton Richmond Rd.

Genealogists will find numerous family and community burial grounds scattered across the townships, including John Ramsey Cem and Beechwood Cem. A notable piece of local infrastructure is preserved at Pughs Mill Covered Bridge along Harkers Run. The topography is marked by several named drainages and the prominent ridge known as Devils Backbone near Camden, reflecting the typical glacial till plains of southwestern Ohio.
