2016 Map of Yellowbank Creek

About this map

Yellowbank and its surrounding high plains landscape define this portion of Pueblo County, where a complex network of ephemeral water management dictates the character of the land. The presence of numerous named catchments, such as Schoolhouse Reservoir and Bombing Range Reservoir, reflects a long-standing reliance on stored water in this semi-arid region. These features, along with names like Bull Pasture Reservoir and Stauder Reservoir, often point toward early 20th-century ranching infrastructure and legacy family holdings.
