1970 Map of Graneros Flats

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Graneros Flats defines the high-altitude landscape of southern Colorado as it appeared in 1970, straddling the line between Pueblo and Huerfano counties. The map documents a transition in transportation and rural infrastructure, most notably through the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad winding through the eastern draws, while an Old Railroad Grade to the west marks an earlier path through the terrain. Evidence of a localized community is centered around the Graneros Sch and the Mustang Sch, providing clear data points for genealogists researching the families who once lived near Turkey Ridge. The presence of the Evergreen Cem and industrial markers like the Claypits further ground this survey in the practical realities of mid-century ranching and resource extraction.
