2016 Map of Oxford

About this map

The borough of Oxford serves as a primary hub in this southern Chester County landscape, where the Oxford Press Church Spire marks the skyline. The area is defined by a dense network of hamlets and rural crossroads such as Russellville, Hayesville, and Faggs Manor. Significant institutional history is centered at the Lincoln Univ of Pennsylvania, located near the settlement of Lincoln University. The terrain is deeply etched by the drainage systems of Big Elk Creek and Little Elk Creek, which create a series of ridges and valleys that have historically dictated the placement of roads like Old Limestone Rd and Faggs Manor Rd. Smaller communities such as New London and Kelton are connected by these winding routes, reflecting an enduring agricultural and residential pattern that has persisted even as modern developments like Harris Airport appear.
