1963 Map of Walsenburg North

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The southern coalfields of Huerfano County come to life in this 1963 survey, revealing an industrial landscape defined by the Denver and Rio Grande Western rail lines and a series of mining settlements. The town of Walsenburg anchors the southeast corner, while smaller company towns and settlements like Maitland, Pictou, and Gordon are shown during a period of transition. The map provides remarkable detail for genealogy and local history, pinpointing numerous active and former industrial sites such as the Morning Glory Mine, Black Beauty Mine, and the Pictou Mine. Infrastructure of the era is clearly visible, from the Walsenburg Landing Field to local landmarks like St Marys Cem and the Gordon Sch. Topographically, the land rises from the Cucharas River valley toward the distinctive ridge of The Hogback, with drainage marked by the Maitland Arroyo and Gordon Arroyo.
