1961 Map of Mount Big Chief

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Rosemont and the surrounding high-altitude terrain of the Pike National Forest define this landscape south of Colorado Springs. The map documents a period of early development for outdoor recreation and ranching, evidenced by the Emerald Valley Boys Camp, Emerald Valley Ranch, and Turkey Canyon Ranch. Infrastructure for the growing region is anchored by the Penrose-Rosemont Reservoir and the winding Gold Camp Road, which traces the former rail route into the mountains. Notable landmarks like St Peters Dome and Cheyenne Mtn overlook a complex network of drainages, including Beaver Creek and Little Fountain Creek. Evidence of early resource exploration remains visible through numerous prospects scattered across the slopes of Mount Vigil and Sugarloaf Mountain.
