About this map

Cimarron Hills and the eastern reaches of Colorado Springs define this modern landscape in El Paso County, where residential development and military infrastructure meet the high plains. The map details the significant footprint of the City of Colorado Springs Municipal Airport and the adjacent Pikes Peak Community College Peterson Air Force Base, highlighting the area's role as a major aviation and defense hub.

Hydrological features like Sand Creek and Jimmy Camp Creek thread through the expanding suburbs of Elsmere and Security, leading toward the southern boundary at Fountain. Large-scale water management is evident in the presence of Big Johnson Reservoir and Banning Lewis Reservoir Number 8, which anchor the open terrain between established neighborhoods and the eastern prairie. The grid of major thoroughfares, including Constitution Ave and E Platte Ave, illustrates the connectivity of this growing Front Range corridor.
