1961 Map of Monument
USGS Topo · Published 1970About this map
The United States Air Force Academy occupies the southern reach of this landscape, its northern grounds and Academy facilities situated where the foothills meet the plains. This 1961 survey captures the transition from high-altitude rangeland to institutional development, with the town of Monument and nearby Palmer Lake serving as established anchors along the western corridor. The local economy and layout are defined by the parallel paths of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroads, which track north-south through the valley.
