1984 Map of Roxbury

About this map

The Central Vermont rail line follows the narrow valley of the Dog River through the heart of the Green Mountains, connecting Roxbury and South Northfield. This area is characterized by high ridges like Shaw Mtn and Belcher Hill, where small settlements and camps were established along the steep drainages. The map records several small spiritual and educational centers, including the United Ch, St Helena Ch, and the Rabbit Hollow Sch. Local industry is reflected in the numerous gravel pits and a Quarry near the northern boundary, while the State Fish Hatchery near Roxbury Flat indicates a long-standing commitment to the region's natural resources. Genealogists will find the locations of the Orcutt Cem and First Settler Cem particularly valuable for tracing early families in this landscape of high peaks and winding brooks.
