1961 Map of Timber Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Fort Carson Military Reservation dominates this Colorado landscape, characterized by a series of steep ridges and deep drainage systems that transition between the foothills and the plains. This 1961 survey, with photorevisions through the mid-1970s, captures the rugged geography of Timber Mountain and Buck Hill while documenting the boundary between El Paso and Pueblo counties. The movement of water has carved a complex network of canyons, including Crooked Canyon, Rule Canyon, and Orchard Canyon, which flow into the larger Turkey Creek valley. Human activity is largely defined by military infrastructure and resource extraction, evidenced by a Landing Strip and an active Quarry. Lytle Road serves as the primary corridor through the western portion of the map, providing access to these upland areas and the various drainage basins like Sullivan Canyon.
