1965 Map of Castle Rock South

About this map

The town of Castle Rock serves as the focal point for this mid-1960s survey, showing a period of transition as development begins to stretch south along the Denver and Rio Grande Western and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridors. The landscape is defined by the deep drainage networks of East Plum Creek and Cherry Creek, which have carved the terrain into a series of prominent mesas and gulches. The presence of numerous Quarries and a Gravel Pit near the town center underscores the area's long-standing connection to local stone extraction and masonry.
