1957 Map of Columbus

About this map

The Colorado River loops sharply around Columbus, defining the geography of this Colorado County seat during its mid-century development. The local economy is visibly shaped by natural resource extraction, with the Columbus Oil Field to the north and numerous strip mines and gravel pits following the river’s path. The Southern Pacific railroad serves as a central east-west axis, passing through the town and the nearby settlement of Glidden.
