2016 Map of May

About this map

May serves as the central hub of this northern Brown County landscape, where the town's grid meets a network of farm-to-market and county roads. The terrain is defined by the prominent Hog Mountains to the east, which overlook a drainage system of creeks including Hog Cr and Elm Cr. A distinctive post-war feature of the local hydrology is the series of flood control structures, such as the Soil Conservation Service Site 31 Reservoir and several other numbered sites, illustrating the mid-century transition to managed water resources in the Texas interior. Genealogists and local historians can locate the May Cem and Pleasant Valley Cem, providing key reference points for early family settlements. The presence of the Wagon Trl and various rural routes reflects the enduring agricultural character of the region as it appeared in the mid-2010s.
