1954 Map of Pueblo

About this map

The Arkansas River valley serves as the central industrial and transportation artery in this mid-century survey, anchoring the growing cities of Pueblo and Colorado Springs. The landscape is defined by a massive military presence, from the sprawling Fort Carson Military Reservation to the Pueblo Ordnance Depot and Ent Air Force Base. To the west, the high peaks of the Front Range and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains rise sharply, dominated by Pikes Peak and the wilderness of the Pike National Forest.
