About this map

Fountain Creek dictates the geography of this Pueblo County landscape, where an intricate network of irrigation channels like Bannister Ditch, Eder Ditch, and Becesch Ditch supports the arid plains. The settlement at Piñon and the nearby site of Bragdon sit along the major north-south corridor of Interstate 25, marking the evolution of transit through the region.

Topographically, the area is defined by significant elevations such as Baculite Mesa and Beacon Hill, while drainage is managed through local features like Greenview Dam. Ranching history is anchored by the Bar J H Ranch to the east. The map records the persistence of early water rights and infrastructure, visible in the many named canals and ditches that crisscross the terrain between Young Hollow and Palmer Cr.
