1961 Map of Northwest Pueblo

About this map

The western edge of Pueblo is captured during a period of infrastructure expansion, highlighted by the Arkansas Valley Conduit and sections of highway listed as Under Construction. This landscape within the historic Nolan Grant is defined by its educational and civic institutions, including Pueblo Junior College and the sprawling State Fairground. Residential growth is evident in the Goodnight area and numerous neighborhood schools such as St Therese Sch and Keating Jr High Sch. The map reveals the critical role of water management in this arid region, showing the complex Floodwall systems along the Arkansas River and several local catchments like Northside Reservoir and the Southside Reservoirs. Rail travel is well-represented by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and the Denver and Rio Grande Western lines, while an Old Railroad Grade to the northwest points to the area's earlier transit history.
