About this map

The Arkansas River corridor defines this portion of the Fremont and Pueblo county line, where complex water management infrastructure supports the high desert landscape. The Minnequa Canal and Hobson Ditch demonstrate the historical reliance on diverted water to sustain the small settlements of Hobson and Siloam. These communities are situated among a network of drainage systems, including Beaver Cr and Willow Spring Cr, which feed into the primary river valley.

Upland terrain is marked by distinctive features such as Richie Gulch and Fred Rohr Gulch, illustrating the deeply eroded topography of the region. Transportation routes like Old Portland Rd and Siloam Rd connect these remote outposts, tracing the paths of early travel through the southern Colorado plains. The map provides a detailed view of the township and range boundaries that organized this land during its development.
