1961 Map of Pikeview

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The United States Air Force Academy dominates the northern landscape of this El Paso County study, established amidst a network of high plains drainage and ranching land. The southern portion of the sheet reveals the early expansion of Colorado Springs and the industrial character of Pikeview, where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railway and the Denver and Rio Grande Western RR run parallel through the valley. This era shows a distinctive mix of military institution building and traditional western land use, including the Flying W Ranch and the Reverse J Diamond Ranch. The landscape is carved by significant bluffs, including Austin Bluffs and Popes Bluffs, while purple revisions from 1969 highlight the rapid urban growth creeping northward from the Colorado Springs City Bdy toward Papeton and the surrounding foothills.
