1961 Map of Fountain

About this map

Fountain and the adjacent communities of Security and Widefield anchor this 1994 revision, which reflects the significant suburban development and industrial infrastructure in El Paso County during the late 20th century. The landscape is defined by the convergence of Fountain Creek and Jimmy Camp Creek, with numerous Gravel Pits and a large Power Plant illustrating the area's utility-driven growth. To the west, the Fort Carson Military Reservation marks a substantial land use boundary, while the expansion of local education is evident in the presence of schools like Martin Luther King Jr Sch and Aragon Middle Sch. This map serves as a record of transition from agricultural and gravel-resource land to a denser residential corridor, complete with civic spaces like Widefield Regional Park and John Metcalf Memorial Park.
