1964 Map of Roxbury

About this map

Roxbury serves as the central hub of this agricultural and extraction-based landscape in northern McPherson County. The topography is defined by the winding course of Gypsum Creek and its many tributaries, including South Gypsum Creek, Battle Creek, and Spring Creek, which carve through the townships of Liberty, Gypsum, and Delmore. The presence of several energy and resource sites, such as the South Roxbury Field and various Oil Wells, indicates the region's mid-century reliance on petroleum. Genealogists will find notable burial sites like Valley View Memorial Cem and Eureka Cem positioned near the primary settlements and waterways. Distinctive natural landmarks such as the Twin Mounds and the prominent Battle Hill rise above the drainage basins, while the Saline and McPherson county line marks the northern boundary of the survey area.
