About this map

The Rampart Range dominates this 1950 landscape, where the steep canyons and ridges of the Pike National Forest meet the early settlements of El Paso County. Along the winding course of Fountain Creek, the communities of Chipita Park and Cascade are established alongside the Midland Terminal railroad line. This period shows a transition from rugged mountain passage to early recreational and institutional development, evidenced by the Modern Woodmen of America Sanatorium at Woodmen and several managed reservoirs including Palmer Reservoir and Reservoir No 1.
