I was looking at a map that was showing me results based on zip 77845. It was defaulting to Wicker, Texas. This was a Google Maps integration. There is a Wikipedia page calling it a ghost town.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wicker,_Texas

So question: has anyone noticed this before?

Haven't seen this

Cottonwood, another Brazos county ghost towns.

Of course you haven't you live on Enright

I don't know what that means

Enright is a defunct town like wickr but located at the bottom of ign where it intersects straub in the general location of your residence.

Like where Dymple connects?

Here is where Wikipedia thinks

Would love to have more information about this community. It's literally right down the road from me.

According to the Handbook of Texas. Wicker is a small community located west of Farm Road 2154 about ten miles southeast of Bryan in southern Brazos County. The settlement probably began in the early 1900s as a stop on a spur of the InternationalGreat Northern Railroad. Maps of the 1930s also showed a church in the area. No population estimates were available in the late twentieth century.

A lot of these places were never really "towns." Just general names for places for one reason or another. Where a particular person or family lived, a church/graveyard, a gin, a water stop on the railroad.

I haven't seen much information about Enright. It's at the spot where Straub Road turns toward the river; if you keep going straight it becomes Stousland Road. From looking at old maps, I suspect that there was a water stop, perhaps with a spur, between the railroad that still exists and the I&GN railroad. There is a decent size reservoir there, and another smaller one. I don't know how long they have been there. The location of the tracks may explain why Straub turns there. There also used to be a little loop in the road there that may have been a remnant of something.

Appears Enright Community got its name from the nearby RR Enright Switch? https://ibb.co/vzjv3Hy Also the Minter Springs Cemetery states it is located in Enright: https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/2299073/minter-springs-cemetery

I am Right near minter springs. It's pretty cool old simple structures down there.
