1954 Map of Palmer Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The mountain town of Palmer Lake serves as the focal point for this mid-1950s survey, showing its position along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and Denver and Rio Grande Western railroads. The landscape transitions from the developed community of Glenn Park and Pine Crest into the high-elevation terrain of the Pike National Forest. Notable landmarks such as Elephant Rock and Monument Rock punctuate the ridges, while the presence of the Old Stone Fort and the McShane Home (Site) provides a window into the earlier frontier history of El Paso County.
