1961 Map of Colorado Springs

About this map

Colorado Springs emerges here as a burgeoning mid-century urban center, its growth etched into the landscape during the early 1960s. The map illustrates a dense network of civic and educational institutions, from Colorado College and the State Deaf and Blind School to numerous neighborhood schools like Whittier Sch and Steele Sch. The military presence is unmistakable, featuring Ent Air Force Base near the city center and the northern edge of the Fort Carson Military Reservation to the south.
