1894 Map of Oxford

About this map

Oxford stands as a primary hub of activity in this nineteenth-century Iowa landscape, positioned at a critical junction of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific Railroad. The rail line cuts through the northern townships, contrasting with the more isolated settlement of Windham to the southeast. Much of the terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the central Old Mans Creek and its North Branch, which drain the rolling agricultural lands of Johnson County.
