1955 Map of Addicks
USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
Houston city limits expand into a landscape defined by flood control and petroleum production in this mid-century survey. The massive Addicks Dam and nearby Barker settlement anchor a hydraulic system designed to manage Buffalo Bayou and Mayde Creek, while the Satsuma Oil Field and Joyce Oil Field mark the region’s industrial foundations. This era captures the transition of rural Harris County into suburban enclaves, seen in the residential clusters of Spring Valley, Hedwig, and Bunker Hill.
