1965 Map of Commerce City
USGS Topo · Published 1994About this map
The South Platte River and its tributaries, Clear Creek and Sand Creek, anchor this industrial and residential landscape during a period of significant urban transition. The map captures Commerce City and the northern reaches of Denver as the regional economy shifted from traditional rail-and-stockyard roots toward modern redevelopment. Significant local history is found at the Denver Union Stockyard and the National Western Stockshow Complex, while the vast Rocky Mountain Arsenal occupies the eastern boundary. The presence of the Stapleton Redevelopment Site documents the transformation of former airport lands. Local social life and infrastructure are represented by the Mile-High Kennel Club, Riverside Cemetery, and numerous neighborhood institutions like Thornton High Sch and Adams City High Sch.
