1961 Map of Manitou Springs

About this map

Manitou Springs serves as the gateway to the massive peaks of the Pike National Forest, where the famous Cog Railway begins its ascent past the Filtration Plant and Englemann. This terrain is defined by its dramatic verticality, featuring landmarks like Mount Manitou and Cameron Cone. The map documents early recreation and tourism infrastructure, including the Cave of the Winds and the Cliff Dwellings near the northern corporate boundary. Further west, the Barr Trail winds through Ruxton Park toward the higher elevations of Almagre Mountain.
