2016 Map of Rosser SW

About this map

The meandering Trinity River defines the landscape as it winds through the borders of Ellis, Kaufman, Henderson, and Navarro counties. This mid-2010s survey captures the rural character of northern Navarro County, centered around the small settlements of Rice and Chatfield. The map reveals a complex network of water management features, including the Soil Conservation Service Site 1 Reservoir, Soil Conservation Service Site 2 Reservoir, and Soil Conservation Service Site 3 Reservoir, which speak to the area's agricultural infrastructure and soil conservation efforts. Local history is anchored by three distinct burial grounds: the Rice Cem on the western edge and both the Old Chatfield Cem and New Chatfield Cem to the south. Numerous creeks, such as Village Cr, Walker Cr, and Cottonwood Cr, drain into the river valley, while a grid of local roads like Pecan Grove Rd and Hope Well Rd connects the dispersed farmsteads and ranches.
