2013 Map of Fountain

About this map

Fountain and the surrounding residential developments of Security and Widefield dominate this southern extension of Colorado Springs. The map illustrates a complex network of suburban expansion and agricultural infrastructure, where the Fountain Creek corridor serves as a primary artery for both transportation and water management. Irrigation systems like the Chilcotte Canal Number 27 and Fountain Ditch snake through the landscape, alongside significant water bodies including the Big Johnson Reservoir and Callahan Reservoir. To the west, the Fort Carson boundary defines the edge of urban growth, while local landmarks such as Fairview Cem and Middle Bay Cem provide important points of reference for genealogists and local historians. The varied terrain, from Skinner Hill to the banks of Jimmy Camp Creek, highlights the transition from the high plains to the foothills.
