About this map

Mining operations and remote canyon geography define this 2011 survey of the Pueblo County landscape. Small-scale mineral exploration is concentrated in the southeast, evidenced by the Moore Property Mine, Galbreth Creek Mine, and several Moore Prospects. The settlement of Bronquist serves as a central reference point among a network of rural routes such as Siloam Rd and Red Creek Springs Rd.

The drainage patterns of Owl Canyon and the Left Hand Fork Logging Canyon highlight the complex topography, while the presence of Gains Dam on the upper reaches of South Red Creek suggests localized water management. This map provides a clear record of the intersection between early 21st-century residential developments like Canyon Heights Rd and the persistent legacy of the region's resource extraction history.
