How to Use This Oxford, Idaho Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Oxford, Idaho. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Idaho or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Oxford.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Oxford reveals itself through the steady, patient movement of Oxford Creek as it winds across the valley floor, carving a path through the quiet basin. It lies 47.5 miles south-southeast of Pocatello, ID (from Pocatello, ID: bearing 153°T), and is situated 13.5 miles north-northwest of Preston. The landscape is defined by the sharp, imposing presence of Oxford Ridge rising three miles to the flank, casting long, cool shadows that stretch across the fields as the sun dips low. Nearby, the Oxford Slough Waterfowl Production Area provides a sanctuary for avian life, where the stillness of the air is broken only by the sudden, rhythmic beat of wings rising from the marshy earth. Beyond the immediate reach of the water, the terrain ascends toward the rugged, rock-strewn geography of Rockslide Canyon, creating a horizon of muted earth tones and weathered stone. The light here carries a thin, crystalline quality that clarifies the distance, turning the vast expanse of the surrounding plains into a study of soft browns and golds.

Oxford sustains a quiet economy rooted in the resilience of the land, where the rhythms of agriculture dictate the turning of the seasons. The proximity of Oxford Reservoir ensures that the irrigation of surrounding acreage remains a constant, vital pulse for the families who have worked these soils for generations. The history of the locality is etched into the simple, pragmatic architecture of the buildings and the long, straight lines of fencing that demarcate the fields, reflecting a culture of industry and endurance. Life here moves with a deliberate, unadorned pace, far removed from the clamor of dense urban centers, where the primary concerns are the cycle of the harvest and the changing temper of the sky. In the cool quiet of the evening, the air holds a scent of dry sage and damp soil, anchoring Oxford firmly within the stark, expansive beauty of the mountain west.

About This Oxford Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Oxford, Idaho. Coordinates: 42.25881, -112.021347. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Oxford includes the ZIP code (83228), telephone area code (208), county seat of Franklin County (Preston), and school district assignment (West Side Joint School District 202).

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.

Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
