About this map

Snowflake and Taylor serve as the primary population centers in this high-desert region of Navajo County, positioned along the banks of Silver Cr. The landscape is a network of water management features and agricultural infrastructure, evidenced by The Canal, the E Taylor Ditch, and numerous tanks and swales like Millet Swale. South of the main settlements, the community of Shumway sits near Shumway Butte, maintaining its own distinct identity with the Shumway Cem.

The southern portion of the map transitions into the Sitgreaves National Forest, where the terrain rises toward the Mogollon Plateau. This area is marked by unique landforms such as Thistle Hollow and Black Mesa. Transportation and local infrastructure are well-documented, from the Taylor Airport to the Show Low Creek Bridge, providing a clear view of how these communities integrated with the surrounding arid environment.
