About this map

The Trinity River and its intricate network of sloughs and cutoffs dominate this North Texas landscape, where the main channel meets the East Fork Trinity River. The settlement of Rosser sits at the nexus of several local thoroughfares, including Railroad St and Iron Bridge Dr, situated just north of the State Highway 34 Bridge. The surrounding terrain is heavily influenced by mid-century water management projects, evidenced by the numerous Soil Conservation Service reservoirs and infrastructure like the Hillside Diversion Terrace.

Genealogists can identify several historic burial sites, such as Rosser Cemetery, Green Cemetery, and Cottonwood Cemetery, which serve as anchors for the small communities of Cottonwood and Peeltown. The presence of the Old Channel East Fork Trinity River and features like Sand Pit Lake suggest a history of shifting river courses and industrial land use. This map documents a rural riverfront environment where old slough names like Deadman Slough and Cutoff Slough persist alongside modern water conservation sites.
