1982 Map of Hedwig Village

About this map

The Addicks Reservoir dominates the western landscape of this 1982 study, its massive Dam and basin providing critical flood control for the rapidly expanding Houston suburbs. East of the reservoir, the map documents a dense network of residential developments and municipal identities, including the villages of Bunker Hill Village, Hedwig Village, Hunters Creek Village, and Piney Point Village. This era represents a peak of suburban infrastructure, shown through a heavy concentration of educational facilities like Westchester High Sch and Stratford High Sch, alongside major commercial hubs like the Memorial City Shopping Center. Along the Buffalo Bayou and Whiteoak Bayou corridors, the land retains some of its riparian character even as industrial elements like Sandpits and the Southern Pacific rail line traverse the northern reaches near Fairbanks. Genealogists will find the Addicks Cem and Memorial Oaks Cem clearly marked among the residential blocks.
