1963 Map of Stone City

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Stone City and the surrounding Fort Carson Military Reservation dominate this landscape during the mid-1960s, reflecting a mix of defense land use and rugged high-plains geography. The settlement at Stone City is marked by industrial remnants like a Quarry and an Old Railroad Grade, which suggests the area's history of resource extraction. Significant water management is evident through the Teller Ditch and the Teller Reservoir, which anchor the drainage of Turkey Creek. Education and field research are also present in the landscape at the Colorado School of Mines Summer Camp located near Wild Horse Creek. Further south, the topography transitions toward Pumpkin Hollow and includes family-named landmarks such as the Turkey Creek Ranch and the John Palmer homestead, offering a detailed view of Pueblo County's rural and institutional development during this era.
