1961 Map of Southwest Pueblo

About this map

Residential expansion and institutional growth define the southwestern reaches of Pueblo in this mid-century look at Colorado’s industrial hub. The city's edge meets the plains at Lake Minnequa, where neighborhoods like Beulah Heights and South Park sit adjacent to a high density of educational sites, including South High Sch and Sangre de Cristo Sch. This landscape is marked by the transition from urban grid to rural terrain, with the Grant Boundary cutting through the western section toward Boggs Flat. In the south, the reliance on water infrastructure is evident through the massive St Charles Reservoir No 3 and the Aqueduct system, while the presence of an Old Railroad Grade and numerous Quarries along the St Charles River points to the area's ongoing material and transport needs.
