1956 Map of Poncha Springs
USGS Topo · Published 1970About this map
Mt Princeton Hot Springs and Hortense Hot Spring highlight the geothermal activity of the Sawatch Range, where the mountains meet the Arkansas River valley. The map documents a concentrated irrigation and transportation corridor centered on Salida and Poncha Springs, where the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad follows the river's path. Rural life is anchored by small community centers like Centerville and Maysville, each supported by institutions such as the Centerville Sch and Gas Creek Sch. The landscape is defined by massive peaks including Mt Princeton, Mount Antero, and Shavano Peak, with much of the western terrain managed as part of the San Isabel National Forest. Industrial and agricultural features range from the Chalk Cliff Fish Hatchery to scattered mines and the Hydroelectric Plant near Maysville.
