About this map

The United States Air Force Academy dominates the northern landscape of this 1986 survey, featuring its specialized infrastructure from Falcon Stadium and the USAF Academy Airfield to the housing at Douglas Valley. This military presence interfaces with the northern expansion of Colorado Springs, where the Colorado Springs Corporate Boundary encloses residential growth near the Austin Bluffs and Palmer Park.

Transport and industry patterns are clearly defined by the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad and the Old Grade Railroad, which trace the valley of Monument Creek. Local history is preserved through the labeling of old mining sites like the Gravel Pits and established neighborhoods such as Papeton and Pikeview. Terrain features like the prominent Pulpit Rock and Ute Valley Park provide a look at the natural landscape before it was reached by the suburban grid of Briargate Blvd and the Chapel Hill Mall.
