1970 Map of Addicks

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Addicks Reservoir and Barker Reservoir dominate this West Houston landscape, revealing the critical flood control infrastructure of the mid-20th century. While large portions of the area are dedicated to these basins and Bear Creek Park, the map also documents the encroachment of Houston corporate boundaries and residential expansion shown in purple revision tints. The small settlement of Addicks sits near the junction of the Missouri - Kansas - Texas railroad and Highway 6, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural roads. Local history is anchored by landmarks like the Baker Cem and the small Graves settlement. The hydrology is intricate, with South Mayde Creek, Bear Creek, and Langham Creek feeding into the reservoirs, while Buffalo Bayou emerges downstream of the Barker Dam. Transportation history is visible through a network of family-named routes such as Gummert Rd and Gertie Rice Road.
