1964 Map of Roxbury

About this map

Roxbury serves as the central hub for this mid-1960s landscape, where the agricultural plains of central Kansas meet an active extraction economy. The map reveals a high density of petroleum infrastructure, with the Harvey Oil Field, Roxbury Oil Field, and Battle Hill Oil Field clearly delineated across the township sections. These fields are interspersed with local landmarks like Twin Mounds and the meandering course of Gypsum Creek. Local heritage is anchored by sites such as the Eureka Cem and Valley View Memorial Cem, providing valuable points of interest for genealogists tracing families in the Gypsum and Bonaville townships. The drainage patterns of Stag Creek and Battle Creek define the topography, illustrating the relationship between the natural water network and the developed South Roxbury Road.
