1961 Map of Falcon NW

About this map

The expanding northern reaches of Colorado Springs meet the southern edge of the Black Forest in this 1994 revision. The map documents a period of rapid suburban growth, marked by the establishing of multiple educational facilities such as Liberty High Sch, Explorer Sch, and Doherty High Sch. While residential neighborhoods are clearly defined by an array of parks like Fairfax Park and Anna Rudy Sch, the landscape still retains vestiges of its ranching and industrial past. Features like the Rodeo Ground and Pring Ranch Park sit alongside numerous active and former extraction sites, including a Borrow Pit and several gravel pits. In the southeast, an Old Railroad Grade follows the East Fork Sand Creek, tracing a legacy of earlier transportation through the corridor.
