Like many Texas towns, the tiny community of Red Rock in Bastrop County was built on cotton and oil. Just a small stop on the railroad line, Red Rock never totalled more than a few hundred residents - now it is just a handful of buildings off the Old San Antonio Road. The old general store serves as the gathering point for the community, and immediately next door is the remains of the town's service station, with a couple of original decades-old pumps out front.
