About this map

Roxbury serves as the central hub of this Kansas prairie landscape, situated near the intersection of Smoky Valley Rd and 27th Ave. The terrain is defined by the intricate branching of Gypsum Cr, which winds through the center of the sheet, supported by tributaries like N Gypsum Creek and S Gypsum Creek. To the west, the distinct elevation of Twin Mounds provides a landmark above the surrounding fields.

Local history is preserved at the Eureka Cemetery and Valley View Memorial Cemetery, which mark the community's early presence in McPherson and Saline counties. The grid of rural roads, including historic routes like Wells Fargo Rd and Coronado Heights Rd, illustrates the organized agricultural expansion that shaped the region. Waterways such as Harvey Cr, Battle Cr, and Hobbs Cr drain the rolling plains, reinforcing the rural character of this Midwestern territory.
