2013 Map of Pinon

About this map

Fountain Creek serves as the central artery for this arid landscape, flanked by a complex network of irrigation infrastructure designed to divert water across the plains. These engineered waterways, including the Jackson and Burke Ditch and the Greenville Ditch, reflect the agricultural necessity of managing scarce resources in this part of Pueblo County. The small settlements of Piñon and Bragdon are positioned along the transit corridors that parallel the creek, while the topography rises toward the east at Baculite Mesa. Water management is further evidenced by the Greenview Reservoir to the south. The terrain is marked by several dry drainages such as Young Hollow and Steele Hollow, which intersect with a grid of rural roads like Overton Rd and Apelt Ranch Rd, illustrating the intersection of natural geography and ranching land divisions.
