2014 Map of Show Low South

About this map

Show Low sits at a critical junction of the Mogollon Plateau, where high-elevation pine forests meet the volcanic geology of the Malpais Pit. This 2014 survey captures the residential expansion and seasonal recreation infrastructure surrounding the Sitgreaves National Forest. To the southeast, the communities of Pinetop-Lakeside and Lake of the Woods are framed by intricate water management features, including Show Low Lake and a dense network of tanks like Dohner Tank and Scott Tank. The terrain is defined by dramatic drainages such as Forestdale Canyon and Skiddy Canyon, which cut through the plateau towards the White Mountains. Local landmarks like Fools Hollow and Ellsworth Hills illustrate the complex topography that has shaped the growth of these mountain settlements from isolated outposts like Linden into integrated resort and residential hubs.
