2010 Map of Flying A Ranch

About this map

Flying A Ranch serves as a central landmark in this high plains landscape of Pueblo County, where water management defines the local geography. The area's agricultural and ranching foundations are etched into the terrain through an extensive network of irrigation and storage, including the Nepesta Farmers Ditch, the Dotson and Enlargement Reservoir, and Chicosa Reservoir Number Five. These features, alongside the natural drainage of North Chicosa Creek and Hardesty Draw, illustrate a persistent effort to harness water in an arid environment. The sparse road network, featuring Flying A Rd and Huerfano Meter Station Rd, underscores the scale of these private landholdings. This 2010 survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure, from the cattle-country ranching operations to the specific water rights and reservoirs that sustain the region.
