1945 Map of Roxbury

About this map

The East Branch Delaware River carves a central path through the mountains of Delaware County, anchoring a landscape where rail and topography dictate the layout of small settlements. The New York Central railroad runs parallel to the river and highway, connecting the town of Roxbury with Hubbell Corners and the higher elevation Grand Gorge Station. This mid-century view shows a cluster of high-altitude farming and residential pockets, including several historically significant family-named nodes such as Moffit Settlement, More Settlement, and West Settlement.
