1960 Map of Devine

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Arkansas River corridor east of Pueblo serves as a vital artery of transportation and agriculture in this 1960 survey, updated in 1974. Parallel rail lines of the Atchison Topeka and Sante Fe and the Missouri Pacific follow the river valley, connecting the small settlements of Devine and Nyburg. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation, including the Excelsior Ditch and Pacific Ditch, which support the farming operations along the fertile river bottom. North of the valley, the terrain transitions to the arid expanses of the Pueblo Ordnance Depot and the industrial infrastructure surrounding the Pueblo Memorial Airport. This map captures the transition from the high-desert drainages of Chico Creek and Wolf Creek to the controlled water systems that drove the regional economy during the mid-20th century.
