1961 Map of Fountain

About this map

Fountain Creek serves as the primary geographic axis for this mid-century look at El Paso County, where agricultural infrastructure and modern suburban development begin to converge. The settlement of Security and the expanding residential area of Widefield sit near the northern boundary, while the city of Fountain anchors the central valley. This era is defined by a dense transportation corridor, with the Santa Fe and Denver and Rio Grande Western railroads running parallel to the creek.
