1918 Map of Addicks

About this map

Buffalo Bayou and its winding tributaries dominate this 1915 survey of western Harris County, Texas, an area characterized by dispersed farming and prairie before the development of modern reservoirs. The Missouri Kansas and Texas railroad cuts a straight east-west line through the landscape, anchoring the settlements of Delhi and Addicks. Local life centers around a network of country schools including the Barker School, Grisbee School, and Addicks School, while the German Methodist Church reflects the cultural heritage of the early settlers. Family-named landmarks like the Gertie Rice Farm and Bakers Dam on Dinner Creek provide specific points of interest for genealogists. The terrain is defined by the complex drainage of Bear Creek, Langham Creek, and South Mayde Creek, showing the natural hydrology of the region prior to major twentieth-century alterations.
