1966 Map of Roxbury

About this map

Letterkenny Army Depot dominates the southern landscape of this 1960s quadrangle, defined by an extensive network of the U.S. Government Railroad serving the military installation. The terrain is dramatically split between the high ridges of Kittatinny Mountain and Blue Mountain to the northwest and the fertile valley of the Conodoguinet Creek to the southeast. Local life is anchored in small crossroads settlements such as Upper Strasburg, where the Emmanuel Ch and Township Sch stand as community markers. The map captures the area just as the Letterkenny Reservoir was established along Trout Run, showing a transition from traditional rural agriculture to modern military logistics and recreation, evidenced by nearby Benders Park and Camp Johnson.
