About this map

The Univ of Mississippi Main Campus and the southern reaches of Oxford define the northern portion of this landscape, where the academic grounds transition into the residential and commercial developments of Lafayette County. Further south, the rural character of the region is preserved along the Yocona River and its tributaries, including Toby Tubby Cr and Murray Creek. This 2018 survey reveals the settlement patterns of the area, from the established town of Taylor in the southwest to the community of Alesville in the northwest.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several significant burial sites, such as the Confederate Cem, South Oxford Cem, and Church Grove Cem. Distinctive geographical landmarks like Thacker Mtn and the broad West Goose Valley provide context for the local topography, while the Market Bridge spans the lower waterways, illustrating the connections between these disparate Mississippi communities.
