    • Fawnbrook is a subdivision of Show Low between Torreon and Walmart on the south side of the highway. The number will be added to the original post. Again, please ONLY call if you have information.

        • Torreon is another sub-division of Show Low which has Highway 260 that runs through it. If you are familiar with the City of Show Low this will make more sense.
