About this map

Show Low and its surrounding high-country landscape are captured here during a period of transition in the late 1960s. The map illustrates the burgeoning water infrastructure of the White Mountains, centered on the Fools Hollow Lake and White Mountain Lake reservoirs. The settlement patterns show a mix of established town life near West Adams St and newer developments like the Trailer Park and the nearby Golf Course.

Resource management within the Sitgreaves National Forest is evident through numerous features, including the Show Low Municipal Airport and various utilities such as the Telephone Lake and Sewage Disposal Ponds. Local industry is represented by scattered Gravel Pits and a Borrow Pit near the lake. The presence of Robinson Trail Crossing and the Old Linden Road provides a view into the historic transport routes that shaped the region before the modernization of the local highway system.
