The Arkansas River corridor in Pueblo County defines a landscape heavily shaped by early 20th-century water management and rail transport. The settlement of Nepesta serves as a focal point along the northern bank, where the Missouri Pacific and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads follow the river's path. This era reflects the complex irrigation infrastructure required for high-plains agriculture, evidenced by the Rocky Ford Highline Canal, Colorado Canal, and Welton Ditch that lace the valley.
