Behind them the bulk of Pikes Peak rears against the skyline, and the foothills roll west toward the canyons.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is the handiwork of E. S. Glover, a maker of American town views in his day. He calls out each feature by name, the courthouse and depot, the hotels and canyons, Ute Pass, and the red sandstone of the Garden of the Gods to the west.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eColorado Springs was a town of barely three years, a resort colony established in 1871 at the foot of the range by General Palmer of the Denver and Rio Grande line. Older Colorado City had fed the gold camps since 1859, while Manitou welcomed travelers to its mineral spa.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis map stands as a testament to the speed at which the West raised its towns, offering a window into Colorado Springs in the flush of its founding. Among the most significant Western town views, it lends a scenic, sunlit air to any living room, office, or study.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Historic Prints","offers":[{"title":"18x24 Inch","offer_id":67827671433405,"sku":"ENMAP0844_1824L","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x30 Inch","offer_id":67827671466173,"sku":"ENMAP0844_2430L","price":82.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0504\/5459\/3725\/files\/1leJBtzhQT4o2rlMU5FAZlYrru5rkZaOe_w1000.jpg?v=1792312526","url":"https:\/\/historicprints.com\/es\/products\/1874-colorado-springs-birds-eye-view-map","provider":"Historic Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
