1966 Map of Coal Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Aurora Corporate Boundary cuts across the western edge of this landscape, marking the transition from burgeoning suburban expansion to the open drainage plains of the High Plains. Dominated by a series of intermittent watercourses including Coal Creek, First Creek, and Murphy Creek, the area reflects a mid-century period of mixed-use development where military installations and recreational spaces shared the land. The expansive Buckley Air National Guard Base occupies much of the western terrain, while the Arapahoe Motorized State Recreation Area and a local Speedway indicate the region's historical role as a hub for outdoor and automotive activities. Transportation and utility corridors are prominent, with the Union Pacific railroad and a long Pipeline traversing the northern section near Columbine Airport. Smaller settlements like Pritchard and infrastructure such as Airline Road provide specific points of interest for local history researchers.
