1920 Map of Satsuma

About this map

Cypress Creek and its complex of drainage gullies define the northern reaches of this Harris County landscape, which in the late 1910s remained a largely rural expanse of bayous and scattered sawmills. The local economy is anchored by timber processing, visible at the Christy Sawmill, Anderson Sawmill, and Wrothe Sawmill, all positioned near the creek and its tributaries. Education in this agrarian community centers on the Fuchs School, while small settlements like Satsuma and North Houston serve as points of trade along an emerging transportation network.
