2011 Map of Oxley

About this map

The Middle Fork Little Red River meanders through the southern half of this landscape, carving out a network of steep hollows and ridges such as Styles Mountain and Half Moon Mountain. In the early 21st century, small communities like Elba, Oxley, and Harness remain connected by a web of county roads that follow the natural drainage patterns of Hurricane Creek and Tick Creek. This area is marked by numerous family-named landmarks and historical sites, including the Mabrey Cemetery near Campbell and the Kuykendall Cemetery north of McCutchen Hill. The terrain transition is sharp at Salt Cave Bluff, while the higher elevations of Alco Mountain define the northeastern corner. The presence of numerous named drainages like Tom Moss Branch and Linn Creek illustrates a landscape deeply shaped by its watercourses.
