1965 Map of Conifer

About this map

Evergreen Memorial Park and the rural community of Marshdale sit at the center of this mountain landscape, which shows Jefferson County during a period of residential expansion and recreational development. The topography is defined by significant elevations like Bear Mountain and Evergreen Mountain, with drainage patterns formed by North Turkey Creek and South Turkey Creek. Educational and social hubs are clearly marked, including the West Jefferson School and the Pleasant Park Grange. The map reveals the early suburbanization of the Front Range foothills through developments such as Broken Arrow Acres and Green Valley Acres, alongside older religious and youth sites like Our Lady of the Rockies Camp and Camp Newton. Resource extraction remains visible at the Augusta Mine, though much of the land is dedicated to the Arapaho National Forest and various Denver Mountain Park locations.
