2016 Map of Rolla

About this map

Rolla is the central anchor of this Collingsworth County landscape, characterized by the persistent grid of Texas farm-to-market roads and county routes that define its agricultural character. The terrain is marked by the winding courses of Buck Cr and Wet Salt Cr, which cut through the panhandle plains. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of Rolla Cem near the town center and Quail Cem to the northwest offers specific points for tracing early settler heritage in this corner of the state. The naming of Roscoe Springs in the northern reaches suggests a reliance on natural water sources that historically shaped the placement of ranches and homesteads. The transition from established community centers to the more isolated stretches along FM 338 and Co RD V illustrates the enduring spatial patterns of rural West Texas life.
