About this map

The Yocona River valley south of Oxford defines the topography of this Lafayette County landscape in 2015. While the northern reaches show the residential expansion of subdivisions like Brittany Woods and Rollings Woods, the central and southern portions maintain a rural character dominated by the Holly Springs National Forest. The map is particularly useful for genealogical research, documenting several small community burial grounds including Yellow Leaf Cem, Bowles Cem, and Kingdom Cem.

Drainage networks for Yellow Leaf Cr, Pumpkin Cr, and Potlockney Cr crisscross the terrain, connecting small settlements like Porterton and Yocona. Man-made water features such as Stephens Lake and Lafayette Lake are prominent, while historic infrastructure is noted by Oliver Bridge crossing the main river. This survey effectively contrasts the growing edge of the university town with the enduring forest and river bottoms of the Mississippi interior.
