About this map

The Trinity River defines the border between Ellis and Kaufman counties, carving a meandering path through a landscape of sloughs, lakes, and lateral sites. The settlement of Rosser sits at a strategic bend in the river, characterized by a grid of local streets including Church St and Railroad St. Further east, the community of Peeltown anchors the rural road network near FM 3094.

Hydrographic features dominate the terrain, from the Old Channel East Fork Trinity River to several reservoirs managed by the Soil Conservation Service. Genealogists will find local landmarks like Rosser Cem, Green Cem, and Cottonwood Cem useful for tracing area families. The presence of Sand Pit Lake and Peters Lake alongside various sloughs like Deadman Slough and Cutoff Slough illustrates the complex drainage and historical flood patterns of this river valley.
