1961 Map of Palmer Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Palmer Lake sits at the foot of the Rampart Range, serving as a focal point where the mountain front meets the plains and the northern campus of the United States Air Force Academy. This 1961 field-checked survey illustrates the dual character of the region: a high-altitude recreational and residential landscape to the north and the structured, institutional layout of the academy grounds to the south. The academy area includes detailed footprints for the Planetarium, Athletic Fields, and the distinctive Chapel, alongside specialized infrastructure like the Heating Plant.
