About this map

Evergreen and the surrounding mountain settlements of Jefferson County show a landscape of mid-century residential growth and preserved parkland. High-altitude living is evident in the development of Broken Arrow Acres and Green Valley Acres, alongside essential community hubs like the Wild Rose Grange and Pleasant Park Grange. The map identifies local educational landmarks such as Wilmot Sch and West Jefferson Sch, which served the expanding population as these former summer retreats became year-round communities.

Industry and recreation are balanced throughout the terrain. Traces of historical extraction remain at the Augusta Mine and various gravel pits, while the extensive Arapaho National Forest and numerous Denver Mountain Park Sites demonstrate a commitment to conservation. Notable local landmarks include the Evergreen Memorial Park (Cem) and Our Lady of the Rockies Camp, providing a detailed look at the social and physical geography of the Front Range during the 1960s.
