1980 Map of Oxford North

About this map

College Hill and Abbeville anchor this northern Mississippi landscape, where the ridge-and-valley terrain is defined by the Illinois Central Gulf railroad and the rising waters of Sardis Lake. This 1980 survey reveals a community deeply rooted in its local institutions, featuring numerous landmarks such as Springfield Ch, St John Ch, and Buford Chapel. The map documents the northern expansion of Oxford, including the University-Oxford Airfield and the nearby College Hill Sta. Along the shoreline of the reservoir, features like Hurricane Landing Public Use Area and various boat ramps illustrate the area's transition toward recreation, while interior locations like Saddlers Hill and Dry Creek maintain their rural character. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of family and community burial sites, including Toby Tubby Cem, Buford Cem, and the St Peter Cem.
