2016 Map of Apishapa Bridge

About this map

The Apishapa River carves a distinct path through this section of the Colorado plains, where the high desert landscape is defined by its drainage systems and sparse transportation network. This 2016 survey captures the rural border between Pueblo County and Otero County, illustrating a terrain dominated by seasonal waterways like Mustang Cr, Powell Arroyo, and Saunders Arroyo. The namesake Apishapa Bridge serves as a critical crossing point in the lower quadrant of the map, anchoring the local road system that includes Co RD 2 and Whiterock Rd. The map reveals a highly structured grid of the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines overlaying a landscape where water is the primary architect of the topography.
