1961 Map of Cascade

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Rampart Range dominates this mid-century Colorado landscape, where the growing infrastructure of the Front Range meets the eastern slopes of the Rockies. Established landmarks such as the Garden of the Gods and the historic estate of Glen Eyrie define the southern and eastern edges of the map, while the northwestern portion shows the extensive Rampart Reservoir and its series of smaller basins, including Reservoir No 1 and Reservoir No 2. Civil and institutional development is evident in the presence of the United States Air Force Academy and the Mount St Francis complex. In the mountain passes, the Old Toll Road and the Toll Gate near Cascade trace older travel corridors alongside modern improvements like the Wellington Aqueduct. The map also details early recreational development within the Pike National Forest, noting sites like the Black Canyon Picnic Grounds and Ridge Crest Picnic Grounds.
