1961 Map of Southwest Pueblo

About this map

Pueblo's southwestern expansion is recorded here during a period of mid-century growth, showing the transition from the organized city grid to the open terrain of Boggs Flat. The map highlights the city's social and industrial infrastructure, featuring the State Fairgrounds and an extensive network of schools including South High School and Corwin Junior High. Beyond the suburban reach of Beulah Heights, the landscape is defined by its water management systems, notably the Arkansas Valley Conduit and the sequential storage of the St Charles Reservoir No. 2 and St Charles Reservoir No. 3. Evidence of earlier transportation routes persists through the Old D & R G W Railroad Grade, while the southeastern corner reveals active resource extraction at the quarries near the St Charles River.
