Panorama of Fort Logan with soldiers quarters on the left, officers quarters around the parade grounds and baseball field. The headquarters, flag pole and hospital are on the right. The label Mount Evans is nearly over Squaw Peak (now Mestaa'ehehe Mountain - and Mt. Evans, now Mt. Blue Sky peeks out on the left of Mestaa'ehehe Mountain). Today, all but one of the soldiers quarters remains and most all of the officers quarters still stand. The headquarters and hospital are gone, but the flag pole still stands.
