About this map

Peterson Field anchors the center of this landscape, reflecting the post-war aviation and military growth that transformed El Paso County. The suburban development of Security is clearly visible in the southwest, showing a dense grid of residential streets near Wilson Jr High Sch and Sproul Sch. This 1961 survey, updated with 1969 revisions, captures a period of rapid transition where established ranching infrastructure like Big Johnson Reservoir and Canal No 4 met new recreational and industrial landmarks, including the Pikes Peak Speedway.
