2019 Map of Verde School

About this map

The Saint Charles River and its varied tributaries define this section of Pueblo County, where high-desert drainage patterns meet early 21st-century rural development. Agricultural history is evident in water management features like the Saint Charles Flood Ditch and the Lamb and Smith Ditch, which redirect water through a landscape of arroyos and creeks. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of the Verde School and the nearby Verde Cem provide essential anchor points for tracing the community's legacy in this region. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations such as Maggies Knob, while the intricate network of modern roads like Greenhorn Creek Dr and Horse Creek Rd shows how newer residential parcels have layered over the traditional cattle and farming tracts. This 2019 survey documents a landscape of transition where traditional ranching landmarks stand alongside contemporary rural living.
