About this map

Roxbury serves as the primary settlement center along the winding banks of the Swift River in this late-1960s survey of Oxford County. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, where the river valley is tightly hemmed in by significant peaks such as Tumbledown Mtn and Walker Mountain. A network of brooks, including Noisy Brook and Thomas Farm Brook, drain the surrounding heights into the main river channel, which is monitored by a Gaging Sta near the southern boundary.

Genealogists will find the location of Pineview Cem and other unnamed burial sites useful for local family history research. The presence of the Walker Trail and numerous jeep trails through the Byron Notch area indicates a landscape used for both timber access and mountain transit. Distinctive natural features like the high-elevation Tumbledown Pond and the secluded Bunker Pond are mapped with precision, alongside industrial markers like a local Gravel Pit.
