About this map

Evergreen and Conifer anchor this mid-1960s study of the foothills of Jefferson County, showing a landscape defined by the transition from rural mountain homesteads to early suburban expansion. The map reveals a high concentration of designated recreation areas including Cub Creek Park, Stanley Park, and numerous Denver Mountain Park Sites, illustrating the region's importance for local tourism and conservation.

Genealogists and local historians can locate early institutions like the Pleasant Park Grange and Wild Rose Grange, alongside the Evergreen Memorial Park (Cem). Industrial history is represented by the Augusta Mine near Little Cub Creek, while several residential developments such as Broken Arrow Acres and Green Valley Acres signal the post-war growth around Aspen Park. The drainage of Turkey Creek and its branches dictates the winding road network, including Route 285 and Kennedy Gulch.
