1966 Map of May

About this map

The community of May sits at the northern end of this mid-1960s survey, surrounded by the headwaters of Hog Creek and Elm Creek. To the east, the landscape rises into the labeled Mountains, while the western terrain is marked by smaller settlements like Holder and Owens. This map reveals a transition in the local economy and transport; an Old Railroad Grade runs north-south through the quadrangle, paralleled by more modern road development. Local history is anchored by rural landmarks like Union Grove Ch and the Pleasant Valley Cem. The presence of several Gas Wells and Gravel Pits alongside traditional features like the Rodeo Ground illustrates the diversification of land use in this part of Brown County during the mid-twentieth century.
