2019 Map of Addicks

About this map

Barker Reservoir and its surrounding floodplain dominate this portion of west Houston, serving as a critical piece of water management infrastructure where South Mayde Creek, Langham Creek, and Bear Creek converge into Buffalo Bayou. The map illustrates the 21st-century suburban landscape of Addicks and Barker, where dense residential subdivisions press right against the boundaries of the reservoir's open basin. Along the southern edge, the Baker Cem remains a quiet link to the area's earlier rural history, now surrounded by modern development. Significant transportation and recreation corridors define the area, including the sprawling West Houston Airport and an extensive network of paths such as the George Bush Hike and Bike Trail and the Cullen Bike and Hike Trail. The primary transit artery of I-10 and the parallel Old Katy Rd cut through the center, separating the established residential blocks from the northern reaches of the reservoir.
