About this map

Peterson Field dominates the central landscape of this eastern Colorado map, which documents a pivotal era of infrastructure development and suburban expansion. To the southwest, the planned community of Security emerges with a dense residential grid, supported by local institutions like Widefield High Sch, Sproul Sch, and Wilson Jr High Sch. The presence of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad line and an Old Railroad Grade illustrate the shifting transportation modes as the region transitioned from rail dominance toward automotive and aviation uses.
