1950 Map of Maytown

About this map

Large Spanish land grants and a network of decommissioned transit lines dominate this coastal Florida landscape at the mid-century mark. The tiny settlement of Maytown sits at a historic junction where the Old Railroad Grade meets tracks marked Abandoned, reflecting a shifting timber or citrus economy. To the east, the map reveals the legacy of colonial-era property boundaries, with clearly defined tracts like the Joseph Wales Grant, Delespine Grant, and William Garvin Grant preserving the region's historical land-tenure patterns.
