hellofromme Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Can anyone provide me with documentable information about how and why Kuhlman Gully got its name? And why is it also listed as Belmont Gully? Would appreciate any and all information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NenaE Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Do a search in HAIF for "cemetery in Riverside Terrace" in Historic Houston section. You will find much discussion about the name and family Kuhlman. Some creeks, etc. get their names from previous/ original owners of the land. Looks like this guy owned quite a few acres at one time. Harris County block books show quite a few maps of developed land under his name, named Tierwester. Guess he or his descendants sold quite a bit of it.

Naviguessor Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Have a friend who's house backs up to Kuhlman Gully to the SW of Breas Bayou. He says that there are workers clearding overgrowth along the north bank of the waterway. This is a pretty cool and wild area, but pretty removed from much access. My friend checked with the Flood Control District, and was told that it wasn't them doing the work. I see that UH had done some studies. Anyway...does anyone know what is going on, or what is in the works? The Gully does connect nicely from Palm Center to Breas. Would make a great bike/ped corridor.
