1961 Map of Fountain

About this map

Fountain Creek serves as the central axis for this early 1960s landscape, flanked by the competing corridors of the Denver And Rio Grande Western and the Atchison Topeka And Santa Fe railroads. The area shows a distinct transition from the residential growth of Security and Widefield in the north to the established agricultural and rail-oriented hub at Fountain. The western boundary is defined by the massive footprint of the Fort Carson Military Reservation, while the eastern plains remain largely open, marked by water management features like the Chilcotte Canal and Big Johnson Reservoir 5810. For genealogists and local historians, the map details neighborhood-level infrastructure including South Security Sch, a Drive-in Theater, and the local Cem, alongside smaller rail-side locations such as Crews and Holmes.
