1965 Map of Castle Rock South

About this map

Castle Rock serves as the focal point for this mid-1960s survey, updated with 1980s developments such as Founders Village and the Plum Creek Golf and Country Club. The landscape is defined by the transition from the town's urban core, featuring the County Fairgrounds and Rock Ridge Sch, into the dramatic drainages of the East Plum Creek and Sellers Gulch. To the east, the terrain becomes increasingly complex as it moves toward Castlewood Canyon State Park, where the Castlewood Canyon Falls and the Arapahoe Canal illustrate the area's geological and engineering history. This 1994 revision captures the expansion of suburban residential areas into former ranching and industrial lands, evidenced by scattered Quarries and the old Russellville settlement area. The southern reaches are dominated by the elevations of Hunt Mtn and a network of ephemeral streams like Lake Gulch and Spring Gulch.
