1950 Map of Maytown

About this map

Large Spanish land grants such as the John H McIntosh Grant and Joseph Wales Grant dominate the landscape of the Volusia and Brevard county line in the mid-20th century. This area is characterized by a complex network of wetlands and hammock terrain, notably Turnbull Hummock, where the transition from wild marshland to early coastal development is evident. The settlement of Maytown sits at a junction where an Old Railroad Grade suggests a history of timber or citrus transport that preceded the modern road system.
