1961 Map of Northwest Pueblo

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The Arkansas River corridor serves as the primary engine for the region, where industrial infrastructure and civic development converge at the start of the 1960s. This survey records the dense urban grid of Pueblo as it extends toward its western fringes, anchored by institutions like Pueblo Junior College and St Mary Hospital. The landscape transitions from the residential neighborhoods of Goodnight to the agricultural and water-management systems essential for high-plains life, including the Bessemer Ditch and the West Pueblo Ditch. North of the city, the land remains largely open, marked by the drainage of Wild Horse Creek and the steel tracks of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad. Notable local landmarks like the State Fairground and City Park stand out as established community hubs, while the prominent Rock Canyon defines the river's path further west.
