1970 Map of Addicks

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Addicks Reservoir and Barker Reservoir dominate this West Houston landscape, illustrating the massive hydrological engineering required for regional flood control by 1970. The map shows the sprawling footprints of these detention basins, bisected by the Missouri Kansas Texas railroad line and the Addicks Dam and Barker Dam structures. While the area was becoming increasingly defined by these infrastructure projects, older local history remains visible at the Baker Cem near Mason Creek and the settlement of Addicks. The transition from rural prairie to suburban edge is evident in the grid of family-named roads like Gertie Rice Road and Gummert Rd, which stand in contrast to the expanding Houston corporate boundaries creeping into the quadrangle from the east near Bear Creek Park.
