1961 Map of Mount Pittsburg

About this map

Mount Pittsburg stands as a prominent high point in this landscape where the boundaries of Fremont, El Paso, and Pueblo counties converge. Much of the eastern portion of the map is occupied by the Fort Carson Military Reservation, a site that dominates the geography between Timber Mountain and the steep terrain of Wild Mountain. The presence of the Red Devil Landing Strip and various training grounds indicates the mid-century expansion of military facilities into these upland areas.
