Springerville volcanic field is a monogenetic volcanic field located in east-central Arizona between Springerville and Show Low. The field consists of 405 discrete vents[3] covering approximately 3,000 square kilometers (1,200 sq mi)[2] and is the third-largest such field in the continental United States;[4] only the San Francisco volcanic field and Medicine Lake volcanic field are larger.[5]
