1961 Map of Fountain SE

About this map

The semi-arid high plains of south-central Colorado are defined by a network of ephemeral watercourses and large cattle ranching operations during the early 1960s. Fountain Creek flows along the western edge, providing a crucial water source that supported early settlement and transportation corridors. The industrial character of the region is evident in the parallel lines of the Denver and Rio Grande Western RR and the A T & S F RR, which follow the creek valley south toward the El Paso Co Pueblo Co boundary.
