About this map

Manitou serves as the focal point for this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by dramatic elevation and early tourism. The transportation network is remarkably specialized, featuring the iconic Manitou and Pikes Peak Cog RR, an Inclined Railway, and the Midland Terminal RR winding through the canyons. Beyond the town, the map documents numerous small settlements and clearings such as Minnehaha, Artists Glen, and Crystal Park, many of which were tied to the region's developing recreational identity.
