The map
About this Colorado Springs map poster
Colorado Springs sits where the Great Plains meet the Rocky Mountains, with Pikes Peak rising directly to the west. Downtown was laid out in 1871 by General William Jackson Palmer on a regular grid with unusually wide streets. Since then the city has expanded in every direction the terrain allows, spreading far onto the plains east of Interstate 25 while stopping abruptly at the mountain front.
Monument Creek and Fountain Creek meet near downtown, and their green corridors cut diagonally through the grid. On the western edge, the red sandstone fins of Garden of the Gods form a park beside the foothills. The city is home to the United States Air Force Academy, and Katharine Lee Bates wrote America the Beautiful after a trip to the summit of Pikes Peak in 1893.
A Colorado Springs map poster shows the tension between planned order and natural edge: a strict grid, creek corridors running through it, and a street network that dissolves into canyons and slopes where the mountains begin. On paper, the western edge of the city becomes as expressive as its centre.

Creek Corridors
Monument Creek and Fountain Creek run through the city in green bands, diagonal lines that break the regular pattern of blocks.
Mountain Edge
To the west the streets curve into foothills and canyons, then stop at the slopes of the Front Range, leaving the map's edge open and textured.

Why Colorado Springs
A map that means something
Colorado Springs draws people for the mountains, military postings, athletic training or college, and many move on after a few years. A map is a way to hold on to a specific neighbourhood and the view of the peak that came with it.
