2016 Map of Fountain NE

About this map

Williams Creek and Chico Cr define the drainage patterns across this El Paso County landscape, carving through the high plains east of Fountain. The map reveals a transition in land use, where a nascent network of residential roads like Peaceful Valley Rd and Raintree Dr in the northwest corner gives way to the large-scale grid of the Public Land Survey System. The presence of Grassland Rd and Green Spring Rd suggests the early stages of rural development in an area otherwise dominated by open range and ephemeral watercourses. Researchers can trace the path of Squirrel Creek Rd as it traverses the center of the quadrangle, serving as a primary east-west corridor through the township sections of T15S and T16S.
