2019 Map of Swallows

About this map

Swallows and its surrounding drainage systems define this section of the Colorado landscape along the Arkansas River. The settlement pattern is largely shaped by modern residential development in the northern hills, where an intricate network of named roads like W Moccasin Dr and S Conquistador Ave winds through the terrain. To the south, the massive Pueblo Reservoir dominates the geography, fed by several significant watercourses including Turkey Cr, Peck Cr, and Rush Cr. Local heritage is anchored at the Swallows Cem and the Ecumenical Church Columbarium, which provide vital touchpoints for genealogical research. The Minnequa Canal and various railroad maintenance roads indicate the ongoing importance of water management and transportation infrastructure in managing the flow through Pumpkin Hollow toward the reservoir.
