2019 Map of Rossville

About this map

Rossville and its neighbor Rossville Junction anchor this part of Fayette County, where the landscape transitions from the residential developments of Piperton into the wetlands and sloughs of the Wolf River valley. The map documents a territory defined by its water, with numerous small lakes and named drainages such as Running Slough, Alexander Cr, and Hurricane Cr winding through the terrain. Evidence of long-standing community roots is found in the dense distribution of family and church burial grounds, including New Bethel Cem, Teel Cem, and Mount Vernon Cem. The presence of the Wolf River Airport and several modern lake developments like Keith Lake Number Two and Keith Lake Number Three illustrate the area's continued evolution from its agrarian origins. This survey provides a look at the rural and suburban intersection of West Tennessee as it appeared in the late 2010s.
