1948 Map of Fountain SE

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Fountain Creek and the steel rails of the Denver and Rio Grande Western define the western corridor of this high-plains landscape shortly after the war. This 1948 survey documents a remote ranching territory at the border of El Paso and Pueblo counties, where livestock operations like Hammer Ranch and Williams Ranch are the primary landmarks. Water management is essential for these holdings, evidenced by the presence of the Hanover Ditch No 1 and various unnamed windmills and small reservoirs scattered near Williams Creek.
