1957 Map of Coal Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Military operations and dry creek beds define this mid-century landscape on the border of Adams and Arapahoe Counties. The western edge is dominated by the Naval Air Station (Buckley Field), while the southern reaches are occupied by the extensive Lowry Air Force Base Bombing Range. This area serves as a critical buffer zone of defense infrastructure just east of the developing Denver metro area, showing the significant footprint of the Cold War-era military presence in the High Plains.
