1966 Map of May

About this map

May serves as the primary hub in this northern Brown County landscape, surrounded by a patchwork of cattle ranching and early petroleum development. The town's local character is evidenced by the Rodeo Ground and nearby May Cem, while an Old Railroad Grade cutting through the center of the sheet speaks to an earlier era of steam transport through the Pecan Bayou watershed. To the west, the smaller community of Holder sits near the Union Grove Ch, marking a quiet rural center typical of mid-century Texas.
