2022 Map of Canon City

About this map

The Arkansas River corridor in Fremont County serves as the central artery for this complex landscape of industrial legacy and residential expansion. The area surrounding Cañon City is defined by an intricate network of water management features, including the Minnequa Canal, Fruitland Ditch, and De Weese Dye Ditch, which underscore the region's historical reliance on irrigation and water rights. To the south, the industrial footprint is visible at the Cotter Tailing Impoundment, while the coal mining history of the Arkansas Valley is reflected in the nearby settlements of Williamsburg, Rockvale, and Coal Creek. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial grounds, such as the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem, Abbey Cem, and Lakeside Cem, which anchor the communities of Lincoln Park and Prospect Heights.
