1961 Map of Cascade

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Rampart Range dominates this mid-century view of the mountain front, where the sharp transition from the plains to the high country is punctuated by the dramatic geology of the Garden of the Gods. This era shows the early footprint of the United States Air Force Academy on the eastern edge of the mountains, contrasting with the established mountain communities of Chipita Park and Cascade tucked along the Fountain Creek corridor. The map details a complex water management system essential for the growing region, featuring a series of catchments including Stanley Reservoir No 2, Palmer Reservoir, and Reservoir No 1. Recreational and institutional development is evident through the presence of the Eagle Lake Boys Camp, various picnic grounds like Trail Junction Picnic Grounds, and the Schuarth Trail, all set within the expansive Pike National Forest.
