2019 Map of Oxford

About this map

The Riley Mountains dominate this central Texas landscape, characterized by a complex network of seasonal creeks and distinctive granite and limestone uplifts. High points such as Lone Mtn, Cedar Mtn, and the curiously named Potato Hill create a rugged topography defined by narrow gaps and steep bluffs. Drainage patterns are intricate, with Sandy Cr serving as a primary artery for numerous tributaries like Crump Cr and Johnson Cr. The map reveals a sparsely populated ranching region where transit is limited to routes like Ranch Rd 965 and the winding Lost Hollow Rd. Historical water sources, such as Raab Spring beneath the peaks, highlight the critical nature of water in this arid terrain. Landmarks like Fool Gap and Hickory Bluff serve as primary navigational anchors in a territory shaped more by its geology than by dense settlement.
