About this map

Verde School and the nearby Verde Cem anchor this 2013 landscape in southern Pueblo County, where agricultural infrastructure meets the high plains terrain. The map details a complex network of water management essential to the region's ranching and farming, including the Lamb and Smith Ditch and the Saint Charles Flood Ditch. These man-made channels diverge from natural waterways like the Saint Charles River and Greenhorn Cr to support the local economy.

Modern residential development is evident through named roads such as Wigton Rd and Eagle Ranch Rd, while the terrain is punctuated by landmarks like Maggies Knob and the evocative Stinking Arroyo. The settlement of Marnel sits in the eastern portion of the sheet, connected by a grid of rural lanes that trace the underlying Public Land Survey System boundaries. The topography is defined by the drainage basins of Horse Cr and Muddy Cr, showing the transition from flatlands to more varied relief.
