1964 Map of Florida Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Little Florida Mountains dominate the western half of this mid-1960s survey, showing a landscape defined by volcanic geology and mining activity. The map records several mineral operations, including the West Mine, Stud Mine, and Bradley Mines, alongside scattered prospects and Tailings Ponds. The presence of Rock Hound State Park highlights the area's geological draw, while the Indian Post Office and Little Needles Eye mark distinctive high-altitude landmarks. To the east, the terrain levels out into the Lewis Flats, where a community cluster emerges around the Lewis Flats Sch, Lewis Flats Ch, and Lewis Cem. This transition from the craggy heights of Agate Point to the ranching and settlement patterns at Kit Ranch and Headquarters illustrates the dual economy of mineral extraction and desert habitation in southern New Mexico.
