1949 Map of Pikeview

About this map

Monument Creek serves as the central artery for this landscape just north of Colorado Springs, where the parallel tracks of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroads define the corridor of development. The area is notable for its specialized institutions and early aviation sites, including the Modern Woodmen of America Sanatorium and Cragmoor Sanitarium, alongside small airfields like Pine Valley Airpark and Nichols Field. Geological landmarks such as Pulpit Rock, Popes Bluffs, and Austin Bluffs rise above the drainage basins of Kettle Creek and Cottonwood Creek. The map records a series of small railroad-adjacent settlements and ranches, from Edgerton and Pikeview to the Reverse J Diamond Ranch, capturing a transition from agricultural land to the fringes of urban growth.
