Explore Oxford, Kansas, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Oxford, Kansas. 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 Kansas 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 emerges from the vast, golden expanse of the Kansas plains where the slow, persistent meander of Lost Creek defines the local topography. It lies 9.8 miles west-northwest of Winfield, KS (from Winfield, KS: bearing 284°T), and is situated 19.5 miles south-southeast of Derby. The horizon stretches wide and unencumbered, interrupted only by the distant, hazy silhouette of the Cup and Saucer Hills that anchor the western view. Cottonwoods stand as sentinels along the creek’s muddy banks, their leaves shivering in the constant, restless wind that sweeps across the flat earth. The air here holds a clarity that sharpens the light at dusk, casting long, violet shadows across the fields and turning the prairie grasses into a sea of burnished copper before the dark settles in.
Agriculture remains the quiet pulse of Oxford, a legacy built upon the fertile soil that has supported generations of families through cycles of drought and abundance. Beyond the immediate reach of the town, the Slate Creek Wetlands offer a sanctuary for migrating birds, providing a stark, marshy contrast to the orderly rows of wheat and sorghum that dominate the regional economy. Life in Oxford moves with the deliberate pace of the seasons, shaped by a history of endurance and the simple, repetitive labor of the harvest. While the bustle of larger centers remains far removed, the local character is defined by a deep, unspoken familiarity with the land, where the changing quality of the sky serves as the primary clock for those who remain tethered to the rhythm of the plains.

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.
