About this map

The Arkansas River and Fountain Creek converge in this urban and agricultural landscape, framing the industrial and educational hubs of the region. The campus of Colorado State Univ Pueblo occupies a significant rise northeast of the city center, while the eastern plains are dominated by the Pueblo Memorial Airport. Irrigation infrastructure remains critical to the local economy, evidenced by the Greenville Ditch, Booth Canal, and the South Colorado Power Company Reservoir.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the smaller settlements of Eden, Fearnowville, Blende, and Baxter that ring the main city. These outlying areas are connected by the BNSF Railway and a dense network of numbered streets. Notable landmarks include the Ascension Episcopal Church Columbarium and the historic burial grounds of Masonic Cem and Big Cem, which sit near the prominent elevation of Big Hill.
