2011 Map of Elk-Silver

About this map

Camp Geronimo and the settlement of Elk-Silver anchor this terrain in Otero County, where a complex network of Indian Service Routes facilitates movement across the high canyons. The landscape is defined by its water management systems, notably Solon Dam and the Silver Springs Creek drainage. These features indicate a concentrated effort to manage scarce water resources in a region characterized by numerous canyons, such as Morgan Canyon and Indian Joe Canyon. The presence of Dolan Well and multiple tanks like Mogoosh Tank further emphasizes the importance of livestock and local utility in this arid environment. Collectors of modern topographical data will find the intersection of infrastructure and terrain particularly clear, especially where Silver Springs Canyon meets the local road network including Indian Service Route 2.
