1961 Map of Timber Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Fort Carson Military Reservation dominates this landscape, showing the military's footprint on the terrain of El Paso and Pueblo counties during the mid-century. The topography is defined by a series of significant drainages and high points, including Timber Mountain and Buck Hill. Evidence of local rural infrastructure is preserved at Lytle Sch along Lytle Road, providing a glimpse into the educational and civic focal points for families living in this transition zone between the plains and the mountains. The map traces the winding courses of Little Turkey Creek and Turkey Creek, which have carved out complex geological features such as Crooked Canyon, Rule Canyon, and Sullivan Canyon. These natural corridors, along with a Landing Strip, indicate the mixed tactical and transport uses of the land in 1969.
