1959 Map of Canon City

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Arkansas River corridor defines this mid-century landscape of Fremont County, where industrial operations and civic institutions cluster along the valley floor. Canon City serves as the primary hub, surrounded by a network of smaller residential pockets like Lincoln Park and Orchard Park. The map documents a complex irrigation and transport infrastructure, featuring the Park Center Ditch and the Hydraulic Ditch alongside the competing lines of the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad. Of particular historical interest is the large State Prison Farm to the east and the dramatic Skyline Drive following the hogback ridge to the west. From the Abbey Sch to the Brick Kilns, the sheet captures a mix of educational, religious, and industrial sites essential for local history and genealogical research.
