1961 Map of Fountain NE

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Williams Creek and Chico Creek define the drainage patterns of this high plains landscape southeast of Colorado Springs during the early 1960s. The map illustrates a transitional rural environment where traditional cattle ranching footprints, such as Kane Ranch and the Bailey Windmill, exist alongside emerging infrastructure. The presence of a long Pipeline and the industrial activity at a Gravel Pit indicate the shifting utility of the land during this period. Navigation across the eastern El Paso County terrain is centered on Squirrel Creek Road, which serves as a primary east-west corridor through the undulating ranchlands. This survey is particularly useful for genealogists and local historians tracing the physical evolution of specific family-held tracts and early water management features in the Fountain area before later-century suburban development reached this sector.
