1916 Map of Satsuma

USGS Topo · Published 1916

About this map

The timber industry and early rail networks define this Harris County landscape, which was surveyed just as the regional economy was diversifying beyond its piney roots. In the north, Christy Sawmill, Anderson Sawmill, and Wrothe Sawmill point to the importance of the lumber trade along the banks of Cypress Creek and Pillot Lake. Settlement is anchored by the small community at Satsuma, situated along the Houston and Texas Central railroad, while North Houston sits to the east near Greens Bayou. Early thoroughfares like Rose Hill Road and Jack Rabbit Road cut across a terrain shaped by various gullies and bayous, including Whiteoak Bayou. The presence of the Fuchs School provides a localized landmark for genealogists researching the rural families living between these early rail lines and logging operations in the years following the turn of the century.
