1961 Map of Falcon NW

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The northern reaches of the Black Forest dominate the upper portion of this topographic study, where dense wooded cover transitions into the high plains landscape of El Paso County. This era reflects a period of ranching and early infrastructure development, evidenced by the presence of large family-held lands such as the Banning Lewis Ranch and Wolf Ranch. Transportation and utility networks are clearly defined, including the path of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific Railroad and multiple Pipeline corridors that cut across the terrain. Water drainage patterns are marked by the Sand Creek and its East Fork, providing a framework for understanding the natural topography that shaped early settlement. Notable localized features such as a Landing Area and a Pumping Station suggest the encroaching modernization of this rural area near the turn of the 1970s.
