1960 Map of Pinon

About this map

Fountain Creek carves a significant path through this landscape north of Pueblo, dictating the placement of both water infrastructure and heavy transport. A complex network of irrigation channels, including the Eder Ditch, Bannister Ditch, and Sutherland Ditch, speaks to the agricultural engineering required to manage this arid terrain. Parallel to the waterway, the massive rail corridor of the Denver and Rio Grande Western and Atchison Topeka and Sante Fe railroads defines the western edge of the quadrangle, serving the small siding settlements of Piñon and Bragdon. To the east, the topography rises toward Baculite Mesa, while landmarks like Beacon Hill and several Gravel Pits indicate the industrial and navigational uses of the land during the mid-20th century.
