1970 Map of Addicks

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Addicks Reservoir and Barker Reservoir dominate this 1970 landscape, illustrating a critical era of flood control infrastructure west of the Houston Corporate Boundaries. The map documents a rural-to-suburban transition, where family-named roads like Gummert Rd and Gertie Rice Road intersect a network of pipelines and drainage systems. The small settlements of Addicks and Barker are centered along the Missouri - Kansas - Texas railroad line, while the presence of Lakeside Airport and the expansive Bear Creek Park signal the growing recreational and civil aviation needs of the period. Genealogists may find value in the location of the Baker Cem, situated near Mason Creek in the southwestern portion of the quadrangle. This survey provides a precise record of the land before widespread residential development transformed the upper reaches of Buffalo Bayou.
