2013 Map of Elk-Silver

About this map

Silver Springs and the nearby Camp Geronimo are the primary points of interest in this high-elevation landscape within the Lincoln National Forest. Situated in the Sacramento Mountains, the terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages including Silver Springs Cr and numerous canyons such as Cooley Canyon, Nahtzillee Canyon, and Turkey Spring Canyon. This 2013 survey illustrates the modern management of these ancestral lands, where Indian Service Route 13 and Indian Service Route 21 provide access across the Mescalero Apache reservation area. Water sources like Dolan Well, Cherry Spring, and Mogoosh Tank are vital markers in this arid mountain environment, reflecting the ongoing necessity of distributed water points for both livestock and wildlife in the Sacramento range.
