1963 Map of Beulah NE

About this map

Minnequa Canal and the Arkansas Valley Conduit highlight the vital water infrastructure necessary for agriculture and settlement in this portion of Pueblo County during the mid-1960s. The landscape is defined by the broad plateau of Boggs Flat and a network of drainage systems, including Peck Creek, Rock Creek, and Boggs Creek, which carve through the terrain. The presence of Red Creek Road suggests an established transport corridor through the more varied topography of the west. This 1963 survey, field-checked from 1956 aerial photography, documents a transition between the open flats and the more complex hydrology of Soda Creek and Gatbeth Creek, capturing the spatial arrangement of rural land use and hydraulic engineering before significant modern development altered these patterns.
