Explore Oxford, Massachusetts, 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, Massachusetts. 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 Massachusetts 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 anchors itself upon the rugged granite-streaked terrain where the salt-heavy air from the Atlantic Ocean drifts inland to temper the coastal chill. It lies 1.3 miles north of Fairhaven, MA (from Fairhaven, MA: bearing 353°T), and is situated 2.0 miles northeast of New Bedford. Salt marshes and tidal flats define the perimeter, providing a muted, silver-gray palette where the Acushnet River winds its way toward the open brine. Residents find respite in the verdant expanse of Livesey Park, a quiet sanctuary that marks the local landscape, while the distant, jagged silhouette of Beals Ledge rises against the western horizon like a fading memory. Beyond the immediate shore, the waters of Mill Pond offer a stillness that contrasts with the rhythmic pulse of the nearby tides, and the low-lying basin of Fort Flat creates a natural trough in the earth that catches the morning mist.
Oxford carries the weight of a colonial heritage that once prioritized the harvest of timber and the harnessing of water for early industry, leaving behind a legacy of stone foundations and weathered wood. The economy, once tethered to the movement of goods through the nearby harbor and the transit of vessels past Popes Island, has shifted into a slower, more deliberate cadence of modern enterprise. Life here is measured by the changing intensity of the light as it catches the white-capped waves of the Atlantic Ocean, a visual reminder of the proximity to the sea that has dictated the rhythm of local development for generations. Even as the pace of contemporary existence quickens, the quietude of the surroundings—from the sheltered reaches of the inland woods to the stark, windswept edges of the coast—sustains a distinct atmosphere of Yankee endurance.

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.
