2013 Map of Roxbury

About this map

The Chickahominy River and its associated wetlands, including Canal Swamp, Toe Ink Swamp, and White Oak Swamp, define the low-lying drainage patterns of this Charles City County landscape. These water systems converge toward the James River at the southern edge of the map, where the Shirley Millpond reflects the historical importance of local water power. Small settlements and crossroads like Roxbury, Elko, and Glendale are connected by a network of rural roads such as Charles City Rd and Elko Rd. The presence of Long Bridge over the river and landmarks such as Ednas Mill and Malvern Hill point to a long history of transit and habitation. Further south, Granville and Montpelier sit near the riverbanks, while the residential development at Woodhaven Shores near Kent Lake represents a modern layer of land use alongside traditional timber and agricultural tracts.
