2022 Map of Roxton

About this map

Roxton serves as the primary hub for this agricultural portion of Lamar County, where a dense network of county roads connects scattered rural communities and family burial grounds. The landscape is defined by the drainages of Maxwell Cr and Mallory Cr, which wind through the prairie toward the south. The distribution of cemeteries across the terrain—ranging from Restland Cem near the town center to more isolated sites like Killingsworth Cem and Rice Cem—suggests a deeply rooted pattern of family landholdings and historic settlements. Significant local infrastructure includes the convergence of FM 38 and FM 137 in Roxton, alongside smaller locales such as Brookston and Ambia. These maps provide essential documentation for genealogists tracing ancestors in the Red River Valley hinterlands, showing the spatial relationship between old homesteads and the numerous namesake creeks like Denton Cr and Justiss Cr.
