2016 Map of Satsuma

About this map

The suburban reaches of northwest Harris County are intricately detailed in this 2016 survey, where the residential expansion of North Houston meets the historical corridors of the Satsuma and Melendy areas. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, featuring the winding paths of Whiteoak Bayou and Greens Bayou, alongside notable local water bodies like Jersey Lake and Marshall Lake. This survey illustrates the dense layering of late-twentieth-century residential development over an older rural framework, where sites like Perry Cem and Dowdell Cem remain preserved amidst modern subdivisions. For genealogists and local historians, the map offers a precise view of naming conventions in neighborhoods spanning from Deco to Hudson, providing a clear record of the area's infrastructure and land use just prior to recent years of continued growth.
