Silver Springs (Texas)

Silver Springs is a group of springs that empty into Silver Lake sixteen miles northeast of Morton on the Cochran-Hockley county line (at 33°48' N, 102°37' W). The largest of the Silver Springs emerges on the Jack McCutchin Ranch in Cochran County; its flow was measured at 0.63 liters per second in April 1978, but the flow during dry periods is negligible. Other smaller springs are located in Hockley County. Salt cedars, cattails, and rushes surround them.
