1961 Map of Northeast Pueblo

About this map

The Arkansas River and Fountain Creek converge at the heart of this early 1960s urban landscape, illustrating the industrial and civic development of Pueblo. The eastern residential expansion is clearly visible in the burgeoning neighborhood of Belmont and the smaller settlement of Fearnowville, while the northern reaches are dominated by the geological prominence of Baculite Mesa. This survey documents a city deeply integrated with its transportation infrastructure, showing the extensive tracks of the Denver and Rio Grande Western and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads alongside an emerging network of schools like Heaton Jr High Sch and East High Sch. Local community life is further anchored by landmarks such as Mineral Palace Park, Masonic Cem, and St Mary Hospital, reflecting the institutional growth of the period.
