1921 Map of Mays School

USGS Topo · Published 1921

About this map

The Colorado River carves a deep, winding course through Coke County in this 1921 survey, where steep bluffs and complex drainage systems define the West Texas landscape. This map captures the local infrastructure before modern developments, highlighting the isolated Mays School as a central landmark for the surrounding rural community. The Kansas City Mexico and Orient railroad cuts a north-south path across the river, showing the intersection of industrial transport and the natural geography of the plains. Water sources like Kickapoo Creek and Barrel Creek branch off from the main river valley, revealing the importance of these seasonal or permanent flows in a region dominated by rugged draws and limestone plateaus. Surveyors C.C. Holder and C.W. Rowell meticulously recorded the varied elevation, from the floodplain up to the high ridges of the Pecos country.
