About this map

Lowry Air Force Base Bombing Range dominates the southern landscape of this 1957 revision, illustrating the significant military footprint east of Denver during the Cold War. The area is defined by its transition from prairie drainages like Coal Creek and Murphy Creek to strategic defense installations. To the west, the Naval Air Station Buckley Field occupies a large tract, while the northern edge is marked by the Union Pacific rail line and the border between Adams and Arapahoe counties.
