About this map

Houston's western suburbs are defined by a complex network of bayous and massive drainage infrastructure in this 2010 survey. The western edge is dominated by the sprawling Addicks Dam and its associated reservoir area, which controls runoff from South Mayde Creek, Langham Creek, and Turkey Creek. This hydrological engineering protects the dense residential developments of Westwick-Sherwood Oaks and Thornwood from seasonal flooding.

To the east, the map details the distinct "Memorial Villages," including Hedwig Village, Spring Valley, and Bunker Hill Village, which maintain their own identities within the larger metropolitan expanse. The drainage patterns of Buffalo Bayou and Spring Branch carve through established neighborhoods such as Memorial Hollow and Rustling Oaks, while the northern portion of the map highlights the community of Fairbanks and the industrial corridors along Tanner Rd.
