About this map

Pike National Forest dominates this section of the Rampart Range, where steep canyons and high reservoirs define the geography west of Colorado Springs. The map documents the western edge of the USAF Academy, showing the complex network of trails and roads such as the Falcon Trail and Douglass Loop that wind through the foothills. Further south, the unique rock formations of Glen Eyrie are visible, including landmarks like Kissing Camels and Gate Rock near the mouth of Queens Canyon.

Water management and recreation are central to the landscape, with the Rampart Reservoir and Nichols Reservoir providing critical infrastructure alongside The Farish Memorial Recreational Annex. Smaller mountain communities like Cascade and Chipita Park are situated along Fountain Creek, tracing the corridor of the Ute Pass Trail. High points such as Blodgett Peak and Ormes Peak provide the primary vertical landmarks for the area.
