2013 Map of Pikeview

About this map

Pikeview and Papeton sit along the northern edge of Colorado Springs during this period of significant urban and institutional development. The map details the transition from ranching lands like Wilsons Ranch and Flying W Ranch to modern academic campuses, including the USAF Academy Airfield and several satellite university facilities. The landscape is defined by the dramatic relief of Austin Bluffs, Popes Bluffs, and the landmark Pulpit Rock. Water management is prominent through features like the Templeton Gap Floodway and the Mesa Number 1 Reservoir. Genealogists may find interest in the documented locations of Capps Cem and Mt Saint Francis Cem, which remain as markers of the area's earlier settlement history amidst the growing suburbs of Woodmen Valley and Hunters Hill.
