1955 Map of Roxbury

About this map

The Shepaug River carves a deep valley through Litchfield County, anchoring the town of Roxbury and the high-elevation ridges that define its mid-century character. This landscape, revised in 1955, shows a network of family-named roads and rural settlements like Bridgewater and Roxbury Falls before modern suburbanization altered the area's agricultural roots. The presence of Mine Hill and the former Roxbury Sta speaks to an era when local industry and rail transport were central to the community's economy.
