1919 Map of Clodine

About this map

Clodine stands at the intersection of a developing agricultural landscape and early Texas rail infrastructure in this 1915 survey. The map highlights the transition between the San Antonio and Aransas Pass R R, which remains active through the center of the sheet, and the already defunct Texas Western R R (Abandoned) further north. This shift in transportation patterns reflects the changing economic fortunes of the western edge of Harris Co Fort Bend Co during the early twentieth century. Drainage and water access are central to the terrain, defined by the winding course of Brays Bayou and another unnamed Bayou. Local infrastructure is anchored by key thoroughfares like Barker Road and Addicks Road, providing a clear look at the rural road network before the area's modern expansion. Small railroad-aligned points like Howell suggest the localized nature of commerce and transit in this period.
