1961 Map of Colorado Springs

The landscape transitions from the dense street grids of neighborhoods like Knob Hill and Roswell to the sprawling grounds of the Broadmoor resort area and the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo to the southwest. Transport and industry are defined by the Denver and Rio Grande Western tracks and the convergence of Fountain Creek and Cheyenne Creek. This map captures the city as it solidified its status as a major military and institutional hub, punctuated by civic landmarks like the Colorado Memorial Shrine.
