1955 Map of Buena Vista
USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
Buena Vista serves as the central hub of this mid-century survey, situated where the Arkansas River meets the valley floor between the San Isabel National Forest and Pike National Forest. The map documents a diverse local economy and social infrastructure, ranging from the industrial presence of the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad to the State Reformatory and the State Fish Hatchery. Higher elevations reveal a history of resource extraction at the Little Annie Mine, while the valley is dotted with local landmarks like the Rancho Sawatch and the Mt Olivet Cemetery.
