2012 Map of Roxbury

About this map

Roxbury and its surrounding hill country are defined by the winding course of the Shepaug River, which flows past the historically significant Roxbury Station and the settlement of Paquabaug. The landscape is dotted with numerous peaks and named heights, such as Mine Hill, Sentry Hill, and Moosehorn Hill, reflecting the area's complex topography. Local history is anchored by sites like the Center Cem and the Old Leavonworth Cem, while more recent developments include private airstrips like Good Hill Farm Airport and Canterbury Farm Airport. To the south, the terrain drops toward the Shepaug River's end at Lake Zoar near the cascading waters of Roxbury Falls. This map reveals a community where rural residential growth and preserved landmarks like the Roxbury Fire Tower coexist alongside old roads and family-named landmarks like Botsford Hill and Bulkeley Hill.
