About this map

Camp Carson Military Reservation dominates the eastern foothills in this 1951 survey, reflecting the significant post-war military footprint in the region south of Colorado Springs. The map documents a landscape where active defense installations and hospital facilities like the Camp Carson Hospital sit adjacent to established recreational and youth retreats such as the Emerald Valley Boys Camp and Broadmoor Lodge. This overlap illustrates the dual nature of the Front Range as both a strategic military hub and a premier wilderness destination.
