1998 Map of Silver Springs

About this map

Sitgreaves National Forest covers the southern expanse of this high-altitude landscape, where numerous livestock watering tanks and springs support the high-desert terrain. The northern section of the map reveals the residential and recreational development surrounding White Mountain Lake, which includes the White Mountain Lake Airport and the dedicated Landing Strip. The hydraulic complexity of the area is evident in the network of features like The Forebay, Duck Lake, and Silver Creek, which are managed for both agricultural and recreational use. Along Rocky Arroyo, a series of named tanks such as Underpass Tank and First Knoll Tank trace the movement of water through the forest. To the west, the infrastructure of the Show Low Municipal Airport and its Airport Tanks marks the encroaching City Boundary, contrasting with the more primitive tracks and cinder excavations like the Cinder Pit found further east near Cooley Knoll.
