About this map

Oxford and its surrounding Florida communities are captured here in a period of significant residential expansion along the Marion and Sumter County line. The map illustrates a landscape transitioning from the traditional agricultural and open spaces of Long Hammock into dense residential developments like Blossom Hills and Orange. This shift is particularly visible in the southeastern portion of the map, where the northern edges of Wildwood meet established local landmarks such as Moreland Park and the shores of Lake Miona.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the documentation of several rural burial grounds, including Pine Level Cem, Crum Cem, and the Royal Memorial Cem near the historic community of Royal. The inclusion of Norton Airport and the grid-like progression of numbered roads such as SE 155th St and SE 160th St provide a clear view of how the modern infrastructure of Central Florida was layered over the earlier rural hamlets of Pedro and Dallas.
