How to Use This May, Texas Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for May, Texas. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Texas or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to May.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

May stretches across a landscape of sun-bleached plains and quiet, scrub-dotted pastures where the horizon remains wide and unencumbered. It lies 19.1 miles north-northeast of Brownwood, TX (from Brownwood, TX: bearing 13°T), and is situated 19.4 miles west-northwest of Comanche. Moisture gathers in the low-lying basins near Hog Creek, which traces a winding path through the soil, while the stillness of the nearby Soil Conservation Service Site 31 Reservoir offers a mirror to the vast, cloud-streaked sky. The air here holds a dry, heat-tempered clarity that sharpens the edges of the mesquite and oak, rendering the transition from day to dusk a slow, velvet deepening of shadows. Far to the west, the distant, hazy silhouette of the Edwards Plateau marks the limit of the visible world, a reminder of the tectonic shifts that once defined this rugged expanse.

May maintains a rhythm dictated by the cycles of the earth and the steady, unpretentious labor of those who work the surrounding acreage. Agriculture remains the quiet pulse of the local economy, with the land yielding its bounty through a tradition of persistence that mirrors the early settlers who first broke this sod. Beyond the immediate fields, the McGillivray and Leona McKie Muse Wildlife Management Area provides a sanctuary where the native flora and fauna thrive, undisturbed by the hurried pace of more crowded regions. Life in May persists with a deliberate, grounded quality, where the primary concerns are the sufficiency of the rain and the health of the harvest, and where the silence of the plains is broken only by the lowing of cattle or the sudden, sharp call of a hawk circling overhead.
