1961 Map of Northwest Pueblo

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Nolan Grant and the Arkansas River corridor define this 1960s landscape, capturing the western expansion of Pueblo toward the canyonlands. The river's path is flanked by essential water infrastructure, including the Bessemer Ditch, West Pueblo Ditch, and the Arkansas Valley Conduit, illustrating the complex irrigation and industrial water management required for the high plains. Within the city, established neighborhoods like Irving Place and Goodnight appear alongside civic landmarks such as the Pueblo Junior College and the State Fairground. Northward, the terrain transitions into open rangeland drained by Wild Horse Creek, where a Landing Strip and an Old Railroad Grade hint at earlier transportation patterns. This survey reveals the transition of land use from the historic Mexican land grants to a mid-century urban center, with numerous schools and parks like Mineral Palace Park serving a growing population.
