2018 Map of Oxford

About this map

Oxford and its neighboring communities sit at a geographic crossroads where the urban development of Hobson City and Lardent meets the protected ridges of the Talladega National Forest. This 2018 survey illustrates the complex boundary between modern infrastructure, like the Anniston Regional Airport, and the older rural footprint of settlements like McAding and Hicks. The topography is dominated by a series of prominent peaks, including Horseblock Mtn, Kentucky Mtn, and Oak Mtn, which define the drainage basins of Choccolocco Creek and Salt Creek. Several local burial grounds, such as Oxford Memorial Gardens Cem and the remote Antioch Cem, provide valuable reference points for genealogists. The southern half of the map is largely dedicated to the national forest, featuring a network of recreation trails including the Pinhoti NRT and various ORV loops such as Kentucky ORV Loop 1 White.
