1963 Map of Beulah NE

About this map

Minnequa Canal cuts across the northern landscape of this Pueblo County region, representing the critical role of water management in the semi-arid Colorado environment during the early 1960s. The terrain transitions from the elevated expanse of Boggs Flat in the east to a series of deeply carved drainage systems. These waterways, including Peck Creek, Rock Creek, and Boggs Creek, dictate the movement of local travel, as seen with Red Creek Road following the natural contours of the land. The presence of several Well labels and smaller tributaries like Soda Creek and Galbeth Creek indicates a landscape primarily utilized for ranching and resource management. This topographic study, field-checked in 1963, provides a detailed look at the rural infrastructure and natural drainage patterns before modern development altered the local water table or expanded the road network beyond these primary routes.
