About this map

Colorado Springs serves as the focal point for this mid-century portrait of the Front Range, where the growing city grid meets the steep eastern slopes of the Rampart Range. The map documents a period of significant institutional expansion and urban consolidation, notably including the Modern Woodmen of America Sanatorium and the Union Printers Home. The transportation network is remarkably dense, featuring five different rail lines such as the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and the cog-driven Manitou and Pikes Peak railroad climbing toward the west.
