1962 Map of Fly Gap

About this map

Fly Gap is established at the intersection of local cattle and ranching trails in the heart of Mason County during the early 1960s. This landscape is defined by its drainages, where the South Fork San Fernando Creek and Martin Creek cut through the limestone terrain. The map documents a rural community centered around the Fly Gap Sch and Fly Gap Cem, reflecting a pattern of settlement where life revolved around small local institutions and family-held lands.
