About this map

Silver Creek flows through this portion of Navajo County, anchoring a landscape where aviation and water management define the settlement pattern. The northern area is dominated by the residential and recreational development around White Mountain Lake, supported by the White Mountain Lake Post Office and its namesake airport. This 2011 survey captures the transition from these concentrated communities into the open ranching and grazing lands to the south and east.

Water infrastructure is remarkably dense for this arid region, as evidenced by a network of tanks and springs including Whipple Lake, Little Mormon Lake, and the small settlement at Bell. These features, alongside named landforms like Cooley Knoll and First Knoll, reflect a history of land use focused on livestock and seasonal water access. The southern portion of the sheet is also marked by the presence of the Show Low Municipal Airport, further emphasizing the region's role as a regional transit hub.
