1953 Map of Oxford

About this map

Lake Chaubunagungamaug dominates the central landscape of this 1950s survey, its intricate shoreline dotted with settlements like Wawela Park and Colonial Park. This region at the borders of Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island shows a complex network of water resources and early industrial infrastructure. The New York New Haven and Hartford railroad cuts through Oxford, connecting the town’s residential centers with broader regional markets. To the east, the extensive Douglas Woods and Douglas State Forest surround significant water bodies such as Wallis Reservoir and Manchaug Pond. Genealogists will find detailed cemetery locations, including Mt Zion Cem and St Joseph Cem, while the inclusion of the Pine Harbor Sch near Wallum Lake provides a look at local community landmarks during the mid-century period.
