USGS COLORADO SPRINGS - CASTLE ROCK Full Color Map of Front Range 1979

Description

SCARCE ITEM!!
This is USGS map I 857-F,
Geologic Map of the Colorado Springs - Castle Rock Area, Front Range Urban Corridor, Colorado
. Published in 1979, this is a nice item depicting the interesting geology of this area. This 1:100,000 scale quadrangle map is quite colorful and detailed
. Colorado Springs is near the lower center of the map and the street grid is shown - maybe you can find where you live! Castle Rock is at the very north end of the map.
Formations range in age from Precambrian through Mesozoic to Tertiary and include a wide range of rock types, with folded and faulted
sedimentary
rocks, but some igneous and metamorphic rocks are also present. Like it says, the map covers the urban corridor east of the Front Range. A small portion of Fremont county is present in the bottom left corner of the map.
All in all, this is a cool, colorful map that would look great on the wall of a home or business in the area, or just kept for study and enjoyment. This would be a great guide to the geology in this pretty area. Good for any hikers, local residents or mineral collectors looking to score a new location.
