About this map

The community of May serves as the focal point for this rural landscape in Brown County, defined by a series of engineered water management sites and seasonal creek beds. The drainage network is characterized by Elm Creek, Hog Creek, and Rough Branch, which feed into several Soil Conservation Service reservoirs including Site 31 Reservoir and Site 32 Reservoir. These dammed sites suggest a landscape historically focused on land reclamation and flood control for local agriculture.

Local history is anchored by the May Cemetery and Pleasant Valley Cemetery, while the terrain rises toward the Hog Mountains in the east. To the southwest, the small settlement of Holder marks the junction of FM 2273 and local roads. The map provides a detailed view of the 21st-century rural grid, showing the distribution of homesteads along County Road 411 and County Road 487 as they navigate the branching waterways.
