2010 Map of Roxbury

About this map

Roxbury serves as the central hub of this McPherson County landscape, situated at the confluence of several local oil operations. The map documents an extensive network of petroleum extraction, including the Roxbury Oil Field, Gypsum Creek Oil Field, and Crowther Oil Field, illustrating the region's significant economic reliance on energy resources. The terrain is defined by the branching tributaries of Gypsum Creek, which wind through a grid of rural roads like Smoky Valley Rd and Wells Fargo Rd. Genealogy researchers can locate burial sites at Eureka Cemetery and Valley View Memorial Cemetery, while the distinctive topography of Twin Mounds stands out in the southwest corner. The transition from the North Gypsum Creek to the South Gypsum Creek captures the essential hydrology of this agricultural and industrial prairie.
