1964 Map of Silver Hill

About this map

Cibola National Forest encompasses much of this mid-century landscape, characterized by the prominent peaks of the Bear Mountains and a network of drainage systems like Council Rock Arroyo and Arroyo Montosa. The map captures a high-desert environment where water sources were critical for survival and ranching, evidenced by the distribution of Deer Spring, Bear Springs, and several wells including Deep Well and Joe Well.
