1918 Map of Addicks

About this map

Buffalo Bayou and its numerous tributaries, including South Mayde Creek and Langham Creek, dominate this prairie landscape west of Houston during the early twentieth century. The Missouri Kansas and Texas railroad corridor serves as the primary East-West axis for the small rail stops of Delhi, Barker, and Addicks. This era represents a transition from scattered rural holdings like the Gertie Rice Farm to more organized community hubs, evidenced by the cluster of social and educational landmarks. Family and community history is anchored here by institutions such as the German Methodist Church and a series of rural schoolhouses, including the Grisbee School and McGee School. Infrastructure of the day is marked by Bakers Dam and the emerging road network defined by the Katy Cross Road and Clodine Road.
