2019 Map of Oxford

About this map

Oxford serves as the academic and civic anchor for this region of Southwest Ohio, where the extensive campus of Miami University meets the Butler County Courthouse Annex. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Fourmile Creek and Sevenmile Creek, which carve through the terrain near the ridge known as Devils Backbone. Rural heritage is preserved in landmarks like the Pughs Mill Covered Bridge, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with small family and community burial grounds, including John Ramsey Cem, Beechwood Cem, and Teague Cem. Settlement patterns follow the historic corridors connecting Camden and Somerville, with the northwestern corner featuring the recreational waters of Acton Lake. This survey captures the modern intersection of a major university town and its agricultural surroundings, from the small aviation strip at Joe Cimprich Airport to the various runs and creeks that feed the Great Miami River watershed.
