About this map

Peterson Field dominates the central landscape of this 1950 El Paso County survey, showing the airfield's complex layout of runways and buildings just years after its wartime peak. The settlement of Elsmere sits to the north along the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad, reflecting the vital intersection of aviation and rail transport in this Colorado high plains region. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of Sand Creek and Jimmy Camp Creek, which carve through the arid environment towards significant water management features like the Big Johnson Reservoir and Little Johnson Res.
