2011 Map of Oxford

About this map

Oxford occupies a prominent peninsula on this 2011 map, standing at the confluence of the Tred Avon River and the Choptank River as they enter the Chesapeake Bay. The map documents a deeply indented landscape defined by long-established maritime connections, most notably the Tred Avon Ferry which links the town to Bellevue across the water. The surrounding necks, including Ferry Neck, Deep Neck, and Oxford Neck, are peppered with small settlements like Royal Oak and Avonvue, alongside numerous family-named points and coves. For researchers, the map identifies significant cultural landmarks such as the Old John Wesley Cemetery and the Royal Oak Post Office. The road network, with names like Shipyard Point Rd and Double Mill Rd, reflects the area's transition from colonial-era agriculture and commerce to modern residential pockets like Holly Harbor and Royal Acres, while keeping the historical geography of the Eastern Shore intact.
