1943 Map of Oxford
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
University of Mississippi serves as the cultural and geographical anchor for Lafayette County in this early 1940s landscape, which is defined by the significant hydrological impact of the Sardis Reservoir Tallahatchie River in the northwest. The expansion of the reservoir during this era altered local drainage and land use, seen here along Toby Tubby Creek and Hurricane Creek. Away from the water, the terrain is dotted with an extensive network of small rural institutions that supported the local agricultural economy, including the Spring Hill Sch & Ch and the Harrisonville Sch.
