1959 Map of Florence SE

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Hardscrabble Creek and Mineral Creek carve through this landscape at the junction of Fremont, Custer, and Pueblo counties. The map captures a transition from the drainage basins of the high country to the managed water systems of the plains, most notably shown by the Minnequa Canal and the Florence City Water Reservoirs. For genealogists and local historians, several community cornerstones are visible, including the Union Highland Cem in the north and the New Hope Ch further south. The presence of the Mountain View Community Hall and a Gravel Pit suggest a settled but primarily rural economy focused on land management and irrigation, evidenced by the numerous named drainages like Adobe Creek and Newlin Creek that define the local topography.
