About this map

Pueblo Reservoir dominates the southwestern quadrant of this landscape, its waters contained by an extensive network of dams and intakes that transformed the local hydrology. The expansive planned community of Pueblo West spreads across the northern plains, characterized by a vast grid of residential streets like Platteville Blvd and Purcell Blvd surrounding the West Pueblo Airport.

South of the reservoir, the Arkansas River flows eastward, flanked by vital irrigation infrastructure including the Bessemer Ditch and the W Pueblo Ditch. This era shows the urban edge of Pueblo proper expanding westward toward the high ground of Liberty Point, with industrial and educational landmarks like Pueblo Community College and the neighborhood of Goodnight established near the river's bend. The terrain is marked by seasonal drainages such as Wild Horse Cr and Dry Creek which cut through the high desert landscape.
