About this map

The University of Mississippi campus anchors this 2012 survey, showing the expansion of Oxford southward through The Grove and The Dell. The landscape transitions from the dense urban and collegiate infrastructure of the north into the timbered ridges and creek valleys of Lafayette County. Notable cultural sites are preserved here, including the Confederate Cem and the South Oxford Cem, offering valuable data for local genealogists.

To the south, the topography rises toward Thacker Mountain, where the Lafayette Lookout Tower stands as a prominent landmark. The drainage systems of Toby Tubby Cr and Taylor Cr converge toward the Yocona River near the small community of Taylor. Further east, the hamlet of Markette and the Market Bridge illustrate the rural road networks that connect these outlying settlements to the university town.
