About this map

The Shepaug River carves a dramatic path through this Litchfield County landscape, creating distinctive landforms like The Clam Shell and Steep Rock north of Roxbury Sta. The mid-century era is defined by the operational New York New Haven and Hartford railroad, which follows the riverbank past Mine Hill and down toward Roxbury Falls. This industrial and transit corridor contrasts with the high ridges of Painter Hill and Booth Hill, where the Roxbury Fire Tower stands as a sentinel over the upland terrain.
