1995 Map of Silver Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

The Bear Mountains define the high terrain of this portion of the Cibola National Forest, where isolated cattle operations and seasonal water sources shaped the ranching landscape of the late twentieth century. Dispersed across the territory are several named ranches including Threemile Ranch, Bear Spring Ranch, and Pueblito Ranch, each situated near critical water points like Threemile Spring and Bear Spring. The presence of Allen Well Corral and Dry Mill Corral indicates the importance of livestock management in this arid New Mexico environment. Further south, the landscape is marked by the namesake Silver Hill and the drainage of La Jencia Creek. The intricate network of canyons and arroyos, such as Deep Well Canyon and Council Rock Arroyo, suggests a terrain where topography dictated the routes of travel and the location of early range improvements. A telephone line crossing the lower reaches provides a trace of mid-century infrastructure connecting these remote outposts.
