2023 Map of Elk-Silver

About this map

The Sacramento Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape within the Lincoln National Forest, where steep drainages and water management define the local geography. The map reveals a network of canyons, most notably Silver Springs Canyon and Elk Canyon, which serve as the primary conduits for the area's limited water resources. Named springs such as Elk Springs, Cherry Spring, and Poison Spring provide vital points for early settlers and forest users, while several livestock tanks including Magoosh Tank and Charley Tank indicate the region's reliance on managed water.
