1961 Map of Northeast Pueblo

About this map

The Pueblo city center and its northern expansion are captured in this mid-century document, showing the urban grid pressing against the high desert terrain of Baculite Mesa. The landscape is defined by the convergence of the Arkansas River and Fountain Creek, where industrial infrastructure like the Smelter and Stockyard sit alongside the established city blocks. Local landmarks of the era include the University of Southern Colorado, State Hospital, and the sprawling Pueblo Memorial Airport to the east.
