About this map

Penrose stands at the center of this 2013 survey, where a structured grid of residential streets gives way to the open landscapes of eastern Fremont County. The settlement of Concrete lies further south near the banks of the Arkansas River, a corridor historically vital for transport and industry. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, notably at Booth Mountain and through the deep cuts of Salt Canyon and Booth Gulch.

Water management is a visible priority in this arid landscape, evidenced by the Beaver Park Ditch and its relationship to Beaver Cr. The map details an extensive network of named local routes, from the residential 12th St to recreational and ranching trails like Kokopelli Way and Grazing Bit Trl. This documentation of the Fremont Co Pueblo Co border provides a clear view of the modern rural-urban interface in Colorado.
