1961 Map of Northwest Pueblo

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The Arkansas River corridor serves as the industrial and hydraulic spine of this mid-century landscape, carving through Rock Canyon before reaching the urban expansion of Pueblo. Infrastructure dominates the river valley, from the Pueblo Water Works Intake and the Arkansas Valley Conduit to the protective Rock Barrier Dam. This era of growth is visible in the dense grid of city schools like Morton Sch and Keating Jr High Sch, alongside civic landmarks such as the State Fairground and Pueblo Junior College. To the north and west, the landscape transitions into high plains drainage systems like Wild Horse Creek and Williams Creek, marked by an Old Railroad Grade and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe line, reflecting the city's historic reliance on both rail transport and complex water management systems.
