2016 Map of Fountain

About this map

Fountain and its surrounding suburbs of Security and Widefield sit along the drainage of Fountain Cr in this modern topographic survey of El Paso County. The landscape is defined by its complex water management systems, featuring the Big Johnson Reservoir and an intricate network of irrigation and transport channels like Fountain Ditch and the Chilcotte Canal Number 2. These features demonstrate the critical role of water infrastructure in supporting the development south of Colorado Springs. To the east, the terrain transitions into the draws of Jimmy Camp Cr, while local landmarks like Skinner Hill and the Fairview Cem provide points of reference for local historians. The map also documents the modern residential footprint, with extensive street grids such as Mesa Ridge Pkwy and Fontaine Blvd connecting these growing communities.
