1979 Map of Oxford

About this map

The village of Oxford serves as the focal point of this 1970s landscape, situated along the Chicago and North Western rail line and the shores of Oxford Lake. The surrounding area is defined by a dense concentration of small glacial lakes and wetlands, including Swamp Lake, Ogle Lake, and Fenner Lake, reflecting the post-glacial topography of central Wisconsin. To the west, the Adams Co Marquette Co line divides the townships of New Chester and Jackson from Westfield and Oxford. Local infrastructure is well-marked for genealogists and historians, featuring several community burial grounds such as Oak Hill Cem and Hodge Cem. The presence of the Upper Neenah Creek State Fishery Area and Olson Landing Field suggests a rural economy balanced between conservation, local transport, and recreational water use along Neenah Creek.
