About this map

Pueblo expands southward into the high plains in this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by industrial infrastructure and emerging residential districts. The city’s southern edge is anchored by the St Mary Corwin Hospital and various educational centers like Fulton Heights Sch and Pleasant View Jr High Sch. The map illustrates the complex water management systems essential to the region, including the Bessemer Ditch and the Siphon crossing the St Charles River.

Logistics and transport dominate the western corridor, where the Colorado and Wyoming Railroad and Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad tracks converge. Outside the city center, smaller communities like Blende, Lombard Village, and the settlement of Lime appear alongside the expansive Roselawn Cemetery. Deep arroyos, specifically Thomkins Arroyo and Edson Arroyo, carve through the open terrain to the south, marking the natural drainage of the Pueblo County high country.
