About this map

Pueblo West dominates the northwestern landscape of this 2010 survey, showing the extensive residential street grid developed north of the Arkansas River. The waterway is heavily managed in this reach, anchored by the massive Pueblo Dam which forms the Pueblo Reservoir. Downstream, the river's flow is diverted through a complex irrigation network including the West Pueblo Ditch and the Bessemer Ditch, reflecting the region's historical reliance on water rights for both agriculture and urban growth.

Evidence of the area's utility infrastructure is visible at the Southside Reservoirs and the Trustees Pueblo WW Reservoir Number 2 near Goodnight. These features, alongside landmarks like Liberty Point and Rock Canyon, illustrate the transition from the high prairie bluffs to the river valley floor. To the northeast, the presence of Edenway Airport and the settlement of Wild Horse mark the fringes of the urban expansion during the first decade of the 21st century.
