1961 Map of Mount Pittsburg

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Fort Carson Military Reservation dominates this Colorado landscape, where the high plains meet the rugged foothills. Topographical surveys from the late 1940s through 1961 document a terrain defined by named summits like Mount Pittsburg, Wild Mountain, and Timber Mountain. Human activity is concentrated along the drainages, with the Turkey Creek Ranch and Parris Mountaindale Ranch serving as rare landmarks in an area otherwise dedicated to military use and natural features. A small Landing Strip sits near Turkey Creek, reflecting the infrastructure needs of the era. To the west, the flat expanse of Table Mountain and the deep cut of Salt Canyon highlight the sharp elevation changes of the Fremont and El Paso county borders. This record captures the boundary zones of the military installation before subsequent modern developments altered the surrounding ranchlands.
