1965 Map of Conifer

About this map

Evergreen and the surrounding mountain foothills of Jefferson County are captured in this mid-century topographic survey, revealing a landscape of early residential growth and historical mountain ranching. The map details established settlements like Marshdale, Aspen Park, and Conifer, alongside newer developments such as Broken Arrow Acres and Green Valley Acres. Educational and social hubs of the era are well-documented, including Wilmot Sch, West Jefferson Sch, and the local fraternal chapters at Wild Rose Grange and Pleasant Park Grange. The rugged geography is defined by prominent peaks like Evergreen Mountain and Berrian Mountain, while the winding course of North Turkey Creek and South Turkey Creek shapes the local drainage. Traces of the region's mining past remain visible at the Augusta Mine, and the cultural landscape is marked by landmarks like Our Lady of the Rockies Camp and the Evergreen Memorial Park (Cem).
