2014 Map of Oxford

About this map

Oxford serves as the central hub of this northern Oakland County landscape, characterized by an exceptionally dense concentration of small glacial lakes and kettle ponds. The area's suburban and recreational character is evident in the cluster of water bodies including Tan Lake, Long Lake, and Stony Lake, which are interspersed with residential developments like Waterstone and Walters. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by numerous burial sites, from the large Ridgelawn Memorial Cem and Oxford Township Cem near the town center to the outlying Oakwood Cem in the northwest. The presence of Willie Run Airport and a well-defined grid of thoroughfares like Oakwood Rd and Seymour Lake Rd illustrate the modern transportation infrastructure. To the south, the map captures the northern edge of Lake Orion Heights, where the S Br Flint River originates near Horseshoe Lake, marking a significant drainage divide for the region.
