About this map

Roxbury and its surrounding mountain peaks define this section of the Franklin and Oxford county line in western Maine. The settlement is centered along Roxbury Rd and the Swift River, serving as a focal point for a region characterized by steep ridgelines and narrow valleys. For genealogists, the map identifies three distinct burial sites: Roxbury Village Cem, Shaw Cem, and Pineview Cem. The presence of the Thomas Airport north of the village indicates a modern layer of infrastructure amidst the traditional landscape of peaks like West Mountain and Tumbledown Mountain.

Hydrography is a dominant feature, with the Swift River and its numerous tributaries, such as Noisy Brook and Walker Brook, carving through the terrain. Notable water bodies like Bunker Pond and Birch Pond are tucked between summits, while the passage at Byron Notch provides a key transit point through the highland topography. This survey provides a clear view of the road network, from Weld Rd to the more remote Walker Brook Rd, tracing the human footprint in this mountainous terrain.
