About this map

Oxford serves as the academic and civic heart of this landscape, dominated by the campus at University and the prominent Lafayette County Courthouse. The city's northern edge is densely mapped with residential streets and local landmarks, including the Oxford Memorial Cem and the historic Confederate Cem located near the campus. South of the urban center, the terrain transitions into a series of valleys and ridges, notably marked by Thacker Mountain and the winding course of the Yocona River and Murray Creek.

The settlement of Taylor sits to the southwest, situated along the river basin where Taylor Creek meets the Yocona. This area preserves a more rural character, evidenced by family and community landmarks like the Buckner - Craig Isom Cem and Grove Cem. The map documents a sophisticated network of county roads connecting small communities like Alesville to the growing outskirts of the county seat, providing a detailed record of local land use and hydrology from Toby Tubby Creek to Morris Creek.
