About this map

Pueblo West and the northwestern reaches of Pueblo define this high-desert landscape in the early 21st century. The topographic record captures the area's complex water management systems, including the Arkansas River and an intricate network of irrigation channels like the Bessemer Ditch, W Pueblo Ditch, and Pueblo Ditch. These waterways support the growing residential communities and the educational campus at Pueblo Community Coll.

The prominent Pueblo Reservoir and its surrounding features, such as Liberty Point and Rock Canyon, illustrate the area's transition from riverbed to recreation and resource management. Settlement patterns are visible in the proximity of West Pueblo Airport and the emerging neighborhoods of Goodnight and Tierra Casa. North of the urban center, the terrain is marked by seasonal drainages like Wild Horse Cr and Dry Cr, as well as the secluded Gnat Hollow.
