1961 Map of Cheyenne Mountain

About this map

Cheyenne Mountain dominates the western horizon of this survey, where the steep slopes of the Pike National Forest meet the expanding military and ranching lands of El Paso County. The landscape is defined by the heavy presence of the Fort Carson Military Reservation, which includes specialized infrastructure such as Butts Airfield and a dedicated Hospital. This era shows a fascinating mix of institutional and recreational land use, including the Louisiana State University Camp and Rock Creek Park.
