1961 Map of Fountain NE

About this map

Williams Creek and Chico Creek define the drainage of this El Paso County landscape, where ranching infrastructure and early utility developments meet. The territory is marked by family-named landmarks like Kane Ranch and the Bailey Windmill, indicating the reliance on groundwater in this arid stretch of Colorado. A major Pipeline cuts across the sections, reflecting post-war industrial expansion alongside the established Squirrel Creek Road. The presence of several survey markers, including VABM 5620 Hammer and various benchmarks like BM 5653, shows the precision of the U.S. Corps of Engineers and Geological Survey mapping efforts during this era of 1960s revision.
