2019 Map of Rosser

About this map

The Trinity River and its meandering tributaries dominate this landscape on the border of Kaufman and Ellis counties. This environment is defined by an intricate network of sloughs and cutoffs, including the Old Channel E Fork Trinity River and Ezell Slough, which illustrate the natural shifting of the riverbed over time. Small settlements like Rosser, Scurry, and Cottonwood are connected by a web of rural roads and farm-to-market routes. The presence of the Rosser Cem, Cottonwood Cem, and Green Cem provides specific points of interest for genealogists tracing families in these small Texas communities. Large-scale water management is evident through features like the Soil Conservation Service Site 2 Reservoir and various lateral sites along the East Fork Trinity River, showing the ongoing efforts to control drainage in this flood-prone river valley.
