1961 Map of Colorado Springs

About this map

Colorado Springs at the start of the 1960s reveals a city in rapid transition, with significant urban expansion highlighted by later revisions to its residential fringes. The landscape is defined by the convergence of major rail corridors, including the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe, which navigate the terrain alongside Monument Creek and Fountain Creek. These waterways and their associated reservoirs, such as Highline Reservoir and Big Stratton Reservoir, provide the framework for the city's early development patterns.
