About this map

Peterson Field dominates the central landscape of this 1961 survey, showing the airfield's layout and surrounding infrastructure east of Colorado Springs. To the south, the rapidly expanding residential development of Security is visible, featuring a dense network of suburban streets and several local schools, including Widefield High Sch, Sproul Sch, and Wilson Jr High Sch. The map documents a period of significant transition as the high plains began to accommodate military aviation and suburban growth.
