About this map

Oxford occupies the southeastern corner of this quadrangle, situated where the Republican River and Cambridge Canal converge. This 2017 survey shows a landscape defined by water management and agricultural grid lines, with the Cambridge Canal cutting westward through the river valley. The topography is shaped by prominent drainages like Turkey Cr and Swartz Cr, which carve into the upland plateaus and Sanderson Ridge.

Evidence of early land use and settlement patterns remains visible through features such as Kellner Cem and several upland water bodies including Maaske Reservoir and Grove Reservoir. The map illustrates the convergence of four Nebraska counties—Gosper, Furnas, Phelps, and Harlan—underscoring Oxford's historical importance as a regional hub for the surrounding farmsteads and transport routes along the river corridor.
