1940 Map of Oxford
USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
The University of Mississippi and the city of Oxford serve as the focal point of this 1940 survey, which captures the region during a period of significant hydrologic transformation. To the northwest, the Sardis Reservoir is shown with its normal pool and flood stage elevations defined, encroaching upon the bottomlands of the Tallahatchie River. This massive engineering project altered the landscape for established communities like Abbeville and Harmontown, while the Illinois Central railroad continued to anchor the local economy, passing through College Hill Sta and Taylor.
