About this map

Fountain and its surrounding suburban developments such as Security and Widefield define the landscape south of Colorado Springs in this 2010 survey. The area is characterized by a mix of established residential grids and significant water management infrastructure, including the Big Johnson Reservoir and A McCray Reservoir. Fountain Creek serves as the primary drainage corridor, paralleled by major transportation routes and the Fountain Ditch, reflecting the region's reliance on managed water for its growth and agriculture.

Genealogists and local researchers can locate the Fairview Cemetery at Fountain and the small rail-adjacent area of Crews. The map documents the intricate network of irrigation and water control, featuring the Chilcotte Canal Number 27 and various dams like the Calahan Dam. This snapshot captures the transition from a traditional rail and water-based economy to a modern residential hub at the beginning of the twenty-first century.
