1960 Map of North Avondale

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Pueblo Ordnance Depot dominates this Cold War-era landscape, its massive grid of bunkers and facilities occupying a large Military Reservation Boundary north of the river. This industrial military presence contrasts sharply with the agricultural and rail-oriented settlements to the south, where the town of North Avondale serves as a local hub near the Excelsior Sch. The southern corridor is defined by the heavy transport infrastructure of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and Missouri Pacific railroads, which parallel the Arkansas River. Irrigation infrastructure, vital for high-plains agriculture, is evident in the Colorado Canal, while natural drainage is provided by several intermittent watercourses including Haynes Creek, Chico Creek, and Boone Creek. The small community of Boone sits at the southeastern edge of the map, illustrating the rail-river settlement pattern of Pueblo County.
