1971 Map of Silver Springs

About this map

Sitgreaves National Forest covers much of this high-altitude landscape, where natural hydrology and ranching infrastructure define the terrain. The northern reaches show development around White Mountain Lake, complete with a Boat Ramp and residential corridors like Silver Lake Drive. This area is a focal point for water management and industry, evidenced by The Forebay, the Silver Springs Fish Hatchery, and several Cinder Pits that suggest local volcanic resource extraction. In the southern half, the land transitions into more open range, marked by numerous livestock-critical features such as Antelope Tank, Bluestem Tank, and the Bourdon Windmill. Geographically prominent landmarks like Cooley Knoll and First Knoll punctuate the arid landscape, while the presence of the Show Low Municipal Airport and a separate Landing Strip indicate the area's importance as a regional aviation hub.
