About this map

The settlement of May sits in the northwest corner of this Oklahoma landscape, situated just south of the Beaver River during the early 1970s. The map illustrates a region transitioning from the river lowlands into the dissected uplands of Morgan and Murdock. Industrial activity is evident throughout the terrain, marked by numerous Gas Wells and an Oil Well, alongside a prominent north-south Pipeline that cuts across the eastern sections.

Transportation is defined by the Missouri - Kansas - Texas railroad, which follows the river valley before cutting south toward the county line between Harper and Ellis counties. Local landmarks such as Mt Olive Ch and a Flowing Well near Otter Creek provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing the rural community's footprint between the river and the southern drainage of Sand Creek.
