1963 Map of Rosser

About this map

The confluence of the East Fork Trinity River and the Trinity River dominates this mid-century landscape in Kaufman County. The settlement of Rosser sits at a geographic pivot point, surrounded by evidence of early 20th-century engineering attempts to navigate and control the river, including Lock No 7 and the remnants of an Old Grade Railroad. The terrain is defined by a complex network of wetlands and seasonal water bodies such as Ezell Slough, Cutoff Slough, and Deadman Slough, which weave through the river bottoms.
