1973 Map of Floyd SE

About this map

Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad tracks cut a sharp diagonal through this Roosevelt County landscape, anchoring the transit corridor of the early 1970s. The settlement of Kermit sits near the southern edge of the sheet, identified by a Radio Tower and its proximity to the rail line. Much of the surrounding terrain is defined by the ephemeral Boone Draw, which meanders through the high plains, and significant patches of Sand Dunes that speak to the arid environment. Industrial activity is evident in the form of a Gravel Pit and a Drill Hole, alongside a major Pipeline that traverses the northern and central sections. This survey provides a clear view of the ranching and resource-extraction infrastructure that shaped this portion of New Mexico before later modern developments changed the local footprint.
