2013 Map of Yellowbank Creek

About this map

Mustang Ranch and the small settlement of Yellowbank anchor this portion of Pueblo County, where the high plains landscape is defined by its water management. The geography centers on the seasonal drainages of Mustang Cr, Yellowbank Cr, and Powell Arroyo, which support a network of ranching infrastructure. Named reservoirs like Stauder Reservoir and Altman Reservoir dot the terrain, while landmarks such as the Weinegar Windmill, Derringer Windmill, and Altman Windmill highlight the essential reliance on groundwater in this arid environment. Significant depressions and draws, such as Hardesty Draw and the Big Pit, reveal the underlying geology and land use patterns of the early 21st century. The map also traces local transport routes including Flying A Rd and Red Top Rd, which connect these isolated ranching outposts.
