2022 Map of Rossville

About this map

Rossville serves as the central hub of this Atascosa County landscape, where the Atascosa River winds through a terrain marked by deep-rooted family history. The sheer density of small family burial grounds and community cemeteries, such as the Bender Family Cem and Layer Cem, suggests a legacy of early Texas ranching and settlement patterns that persisted long after the town's initial founding. Narrow corridors like FM 476 and FM 1333 connect these rural enclaves, tracing paths between landmarks like the Anchorage Methodist Church Cem. Along the eastern edge, topographical features like Tank Hollow and Fern Hollow frame the drainages of Agua Negra Cr and Palo Alto Cr. This survey documents a quiet rural area where the placement of legacy sites like Grosco Cem and Vanness Cem remains integral to the local geography.
