About this map

Stone City sits at the base of the eastern foothills in this mid-century topographic record, revised in the early 1990s. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the high ridges of Booth Mountain and the expansive drainage basins of Turkey Creek and Wildhorse Creek. The presence of Fort Carson Military Reservation dominates the central and northern sections of the sheet, where specialized infrastructure like Sewage Treatment Ponds and several Radio Towers are documented.

Extractive industry is a primary theme of the area, evidenced by numerous Quarry sites and an Open Pit Mine concentrated near Booth Gulch. Transportation history is visible in the form of an Old Railroad Grade and various 4wd tracks that crisscross the arid terrain toward Wildhorse Park. Water management is represented by the prominent Teller Reservoir and a system-wide Levee along the lower creek beds.
