1979 Map of Oxford

About this map

The village of Oxford serves as the focal point of this Central Wisconsin survey, situated at the junction of the Chicago and North Western railway and the waters of Neenah Lake. The landscape is defined by its complex glacial hydrology, featuring a dense network of kettle lakes such as Oxford Lake, Emrick Lake, and Wolf Lake. Land use reflects a balance of small-scale agriculture and conservation, notably within the Upper Neenah Creek State Fishery Area. Transportation routes like Fox Road and Fern Road connect scattered homesteads and local institutions, including the Townhall in Westfield and the Oak Hill Cem. This record of the Adams Co Marquette Co border reveals a rural economy tied to the land, from the localized gravel extraction at the Gravel Pit to the small-scale aviation at Olson Landing Field.
