About this map

Haynes Creek flows southward across this high plains landscape in Pueblo County, carving a path through terrain marked by intermittent water sources and surveyor benchmarks. This late 1950s survey documents a largely undeveloped rangeland, where the movement of water and livestock dictated the local geography. Significant landmarks include the Squirrel VABM 4914 triangulation station and several isolated water points such as Springs and a singular Spring located in the western sections.

A network of Jeep Trails provides the primary means of navigation through the hills, connecting remote corners of the quadrangle. In the lower reaches of the drainage, a Spillway indicates small-scale water management or catchment efforts, essential for maintaining life and industry in this arid environment. The map captures a moment when the area remained predominantly open country, defined by its natural drainage patterns like Black Squirrel Cr.
