2017 Map of Floyd

About this map

The agricultural community of Floyd anchors this high plains landscape of Roosevelt County. Situated at the intersection of a rigid grid of country roads, including S Roosevelt Road 3 and S Roosevelt Road AG, the small settlement is closely tied to the surrounding section lines. Local history is centered at the Floyd Cem on the town's edge, a critical site for genealogical research in the area. The terrain is largely defined by subtle depressions and drainage patterns, most notably the seasonal Tierra Blanca Lake to the east and the sweeping path of Boone Draw in the south. This survey illustrates the persistence of the Public Land Survey System, where every section, from t1s r32e to t2s r33e, is systematically partitioned by a network of numbered Roosevelt roads.
