1960 Map of Boone Hill

About this map

Boone Hill stands as the primary landmark in this section of Pueblo County, rising above a landscape defined by the drainage patterns of the high plains. Surveyed in the late 1950s, the terrain shows a transition from the rolling uplands near the Wright VABM 4958 survey marker down toward the winding beds of Kramer Creek and Haynes Creek. The map documents a sparsely settled ranching or grazing environment, where section lines and unimproved tracks provide the primary evidence of human geography. Researchers can observe the natural watercourse development in this semi-arid region, tracing how seasonal flows have carved the topography around the central heights of the hill itself.
