1948 Map of Pikeview

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Monument Creek flows through a corridor of industry and health care in this late 1940s landscape, flanked by the competing tracks of the Denver and Rio Grande Western RR and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe RR. The area is characterized by a significant concentration of institutional sites, including the Modern Woodmen of America Sanatorium and Cragmoor Sanitarium, reflecting the region's historical role as a center for pulmonary treatment. Scattered ranching operations like Reverse J Diamond Ranch and Elkhorn Ranch occupy the plateaus and draws, while small aviation strips such as Pine Valley Airpark and Garden Ranch Airpark hint at the post-war growth of private flight. Local education is anchored at the Woodmen School, serving the small settlements of Edgerton and Pikeview that once relied on the passing rail lines for their survival.
