1959 Map of Canon City

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Arkansas River corridor serves as the industrial and agricultural lifeline for Fremont County in the late 1950s, anchoring a network of irrigation systems including the Hydraulic Ditch and Oil Creek Ditch. The landscape is defined by the coexistence of institutional, residential, and industrial land use, most notably the expansive State Prison Farm situated east of the city center. This period captures Canon City and Lincoln Park as established hubs of activity, while the surrounding hills are marked by an old railroad grade and numerous mines that reflect the region's extractive history.
