1973 Map of Floyd

About this map

The settlement of Floyd anchors this High Plains landscape, depicted here during the mid-1970s with updates from the early 1980s. The town's grid is clearly defined, showing the Cem on its western edge and a series of Water Tanks near the central Floyd well. The surrounding Roosevelt County terrain is characterized by ephemeral basins and depression lakes, including Tierra Blanca Lake, Gregory Lake, and Smith Lake, which serve as vital catchments in this arid environment. Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is visible through the presence of several Gravel Pits, a Substa, and a prominent Radio Tower. To the south, the natural drainage of Boone Draw cuts across the plains, while a long-distance Pipeline segment traverses the southern sections, illustrating the region's role in resource transportation and agricultural support.
