About this map

The city of Pueblo expands southward into the high desert landscape of Southern Colorado, where intricate water management systems define the terrain. Subdivisions and residential streets like Aster St and Lariat Rd push against the margins of managed water bodies such as Lake Minnequa and the Saint Charles Reservoir Number 3. The reliance on irrigation in this arid region is visible through the extensive network of engineered waterways, including the Minnequa Canal, Tucker Ditch, and the Saint Charles Flood Ditch. These features illustrate the transformation of the natural landscape into a structured urban and industrial environment.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by established landmarks like the Mountain View Cemetery and Valhalla Memorial Park. Further south, the landscape opens into Boggs Flat and the small locality of Stem Beach, where the Saint Charles River and Salt Creek converge. The map documents the region's complex infrastructure, from the Saint Charles Number 3 Dam to the rural tracks of Red Creek Springs Rd and Rambo Trl, capturing the area as it functioned at the turn of the 21st century.
