2010 Map of Roxton

About this map

Roxton serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Lamar County, where the street grid remains distinct among the surrounding creek drainages. The area is characterized by a high density of small, family-named burial grounds, such as McGlasson Cemetery and Topping Cemetery, which point to a long history of rural settlement and local kinship. The hydrological network is dominated by Maxwell Creek and Mallory Creek, with numerous soil conservation dams including Soil Conservation Service Site 1 Dam indicating active water management for the surrounding farmsteads. Smaller hamlets like Howland and Ambia anchor the eastern side of the sheet, connected by a web of Farm to Market roads that replaced the earlier wagon paths. This 2010 update preserves the location of landmarks like Rockyford Cemetery, providing a clear record of the area's ancestral sites before further modernization.
