1956 Map of Poncha Springs

About this map

Arkansas River water rights and mountain topography define this mid-century survey of the Chaffee County corridor. The valley floor is marked by the infrastructure of early settlement and industry, notably the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad winding through Browns Canon toward Salida. Local civic life is concentrated in small nodes like Centerville, which includes the Centerville Ch, Centerville Sch, and a nearby Centerville Cem, reflecting the clustered nature of agricultural and ranching communities in the shadow of the San Isabel National Forest.
