2016 Map of May East

About this map

The settlement of May anchors the northwestern corner of this landscape, situated just south of the Beaver River. This area of Northwest Oklahoma is characterized by the river's winding path and the incision of Sand Cr through the plains. The map captures the dividing line between Harper Co and Ellis Co, a boundary marked by the straight east-west transit of Ew 29 RD. While the northern section is dominated by the river bottomlands, the southern half of the quadrangle rises into more dissected terrain. Local history is anchored at the Mount Olive Cem in the southeastern quadrant, a site serving the surrounding rural homesteads. The road network follows a strict section-line grid, reflecting the late nineteenth-century land survey patterns that defined the region's development.
