The borough of Oxford serves as a central hub in this corner of Chester County, where numerous rural roads converge amidst the rolling drainage of Little Elk Cr and Big Elk Creek. This landscape is deeply shaped by its educational and religious institutions, most notably the Lincoln University of Pennsylvania and the historic Hosanna Meeting House Cem located nearby. The pattern of settlement is dense with small villages such as Kelton, Hayesville, and Russellville, many of which developed around crossroads and local water sources like Muddy Run and Tweed Cr. Genealogical researchers will find a significant concentration of burial sites, ranging from the Manor Presbyterian Church Cem in the north to the New London Methodist Church Cem in the east, reflecting the long-established communities of the region. The map also documents local infrastructure including Harris Airport and the distinct Oxford Press Church Spire landmark.
