2022 Map of Rochester

About this map

The small town of Rochester serves as a focal point in this portion of Haskell County, where a grid of streets including Main St and Railroad St intersects the agricultural landscape. Just to the north, the settlement of O'Brien sits near the headwaters of China Br, illustrating the typical Texas Rolling Plains pattern of small, independent communities linked by a dense network of county roads. The landscape is characterized by intermittent water features like Mitchell Lake and an extensive grid of section-line roads such as Co Rd 168 and Co Rd 186. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Rochester Cem west of the main townsite along Cemetery Rd, while the presence of several ranch roads like Ranch Rd 2163 highlights the continued importance of cattle and cotton transport in the regional economy.
