2019 Map of Canon City

About this map

Cañon City and its surrounding communities are defined by an intricate network of water management and industrial landmarks along the Arkansas River. This survey reveals the dense settlement patterns of the late 2010s, where older mining and agricultural towns like Brookside, Rockvale, and Williamsburg sit alongside modern residential expansions. The landscape is heavily marked by irrigation and industrial infrastructure, including the De Weese Dye Ditch, Minnequa Canal, and the large Cotter Tailing Impoundment south of the city. Genealogists will find significant detail in the numerous burial grounds documented, such as Abbey Cem, Greenwood Cem, and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem. From the industrial operations at Bradley Metals in the north to the Coal Creek area in the south, the map illustrates the ongoing evolution of a region built on the resources of the high plains and river valley.
