2015 Map of Oxford South

About this map

The Univ of Mississippi Main Campus and the southern outskirts of Oxford anchor this 2015 survey, illustrating the modern expansion of this historic university town. The landscape transition from urban corridors to the rural Lafayette County countryside is marked by several outlying communities including Alesville, Woodlawn, and Ridgeland. History is visible in the memorial grounds of the Confederate Cem near the heart of campus, while further south, the settlement of Taylor sits near the winding course of the Yocona River. The terrain is defined by low ridges like Thacker Mtn and the distinct parallel basins of West Goose Valley and East Goose Valley. Local transit and infrastructure are represented by landmarks such as Market Bridge and the Industrial Park, reflecting the evolving economy of the region as it spreads south toward Markette.
