About this map

Roxbury serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape, situated where the northern edge of McPherson County meets Saline County. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses, most notably Gypsum Cr and its tributaries, N Gypsum Cr and S Gypsum Cr, which carve through the plains. The rural layout is strictly organized by a section-line road grid, featuring thoroughfares such as Smoky Valley Rd and Svensk Rd, reflecting the region's Swedish heritage.

Genealogists will find interest in Valley View Memorial Cem located just east of the main settlement, and the more isolated Eureka Cem to the northwest. To the southwest, the Twin Mounds provide a rare vertical break in the terrain, standing near the banks of Battle Cr. This survey captures the enduring rural character of central Kansas, where small crossroads communities and family burial grounds remain the primary landmarks across the prairie.
