2023 Map of Oxford

About this map

The Chenango River valley anchors this study of the village of Oxford, where the local landscape is defined by its many hillside cemeteries and early family settlements. The community's history is preserved in the placement of the Saint Joseph Cem, Village Cem, and the New York State Veterans Home Cem. The terrain rises from the riverbanks toward several prominent heights, including Gamble Roof Hill and Gospel Hill, while water bodies like Lake Gerry and Trestle Lake dot the eastern uplands. This modern survey reflects the enduring geography of Chenango County, showing the network of rural roads that connect small settlements like Haynes and Guilford to the main valley corridor. Genealogists can trace family names through numerous remote burial grounds such as the Mason - Packer Cem and Blackman Cem, which remain as markers of the area's original agrarian footprint.
