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 remains a quiet expanse of inland terrain defined by its resilient woodlands and the steady presence of its natural features. It lies 4.7 miles north of Webster, MA (from Webster, MA: bearing 10°T), and is situated 9.1 miles east-northeast of Southbridge. Lowes Pond rests at the center of the local landscape, offering a reflective surface that catches the pale, early morning light. The French River winds through the lower elevations, marking the passage of water through the dense greenery that characterizes the area. Beyond the immediate tree line, the silhouette of Hitchcock Mountain rises on the distant horizon, anchoring the perspective of the landscape. Residents often find solace in the nearby Unknown Park, a quiet expanse that invites a contemplative pace of life.
Oxford traces its roots to a history of early settlement and the steady persistence of agrarian and industrial labor. The local economy shifted over time from traditional milling and manufacturing to a modern blend of service and trade that sustains the daily needs of its residents. Proximity to the Douglass State Forest highlights the town’s long-standing connection to the timber and natural resources that once drove regional development. Further afield, the geological intrigue of Purgatory Chasm serves as a reminder of the rugged, ancient forces that shaped the earth beneath the town’s foundations. Even the nearby Sutton Falls provides a rhythmic, constant soundtrack to a history defined by the movement of water and the turning of wheels.
Oxford maintains a cultural character shaped by a blend of historical depth and a grounded, pragmatic outlook. The Clara Barton Birthplace Museum stands as a significant landmark, honoring the life and humanitarian contributions of a woman whose work transformed modern medicine and disaster relief. Local events often center on the communal spirit of the residents, who gather to celebrate the seasonal shifts that color the leaves and cool the air. While the pace of life remains steady and unassuming, the legacy of its famous residents adds a layer of weight to the local identity. Quiet evenings in the neighborhood often carry the scent of pine and damp earth, reflecting a place that values its own history without seeking the clamor of the wider world.

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.
