2014 Map of Oxford

About this map

Oxford sits as a central hub in Izard County, Arkansas, where local life follows the drainages of the Strawberry River and its numerous tributaries. The landscape is defined by its rural density, marked by the presence of several established settlements including Brockwell, Twin Bridges, and Band Mill. The mapping of eight distinct cemeteries, such as Campground Cem and Wyatt Cem, highlights the long-standing genealogical history of this Ozark plateau region. The Oxford Lookout Tower stands as a prominent landmark on the high ground near Dry Hollow, reflecting the region's managed woodlands. A complex network of county roads like Camp Ground Rd and Wideman Rd connects these points of interest, tracing the ridges and valleys between Thorn Hill and Knob Cr. This survey provides a precise look at the community structure of Northern Arkansas before more modern development patterns altered the traditional layout of these rural townships.
