1970 Map of Apishapa Bridge

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Apishapa River cuts through the high plains of southern Colorado in this 1970 survey, marking a stark drainage pattern across the arid landscape. The map centers on the Pueblo Co Otero Co boundary, where the namesake Apishapa Bridge provides a vital crossing point over the riverbed. This sparsely populated ranching region is defined by deep erosion channels like Powell Arroyo and Mustang Creek, which feed into the larger river system. The settlement of Whiterock sits near the western edge of the sheet, offering a glimpse into the localized human geography of the area during the late twentieth century. A prominent Radio Tower 4617 stands as a rare vertical landmark in a terrain otherwise shaped by horizontal mesas and winding arroyos.
