About this map

Peterson Field dominates the central landscape of this eastern Colorado plateau, serving as a critical aviation hub just outside the burgeoning residential developments. To the southwest, the community of Security shows rapid mid-century growth, anchored by educational centers like Widefield High Sch, Sproul Sch, and Wilson Jr High Sch. This era reflects a transition from traditional ranching and rail transport toward a specialized suburban and military economy.
