1965 Map of Conifer

About this map

Evergreen and the mountain communities of the Front Range appear here as they were transitioning toward modern residential growth while maintaining their high-altitude parkland character. The map illustrates a landscape defined by prominent peaks like Berrian Mountain and Doublehead Mountain, where narrow gulches and creeks dictate the layout of small settlements. Local education is centered around several facilities including West Jefferson Middle School and Marshdale School, reflecting the post-war expansion of these mountain suburbs. Cultural and civic life is anchored by landmarks such as the Pleasant Park Grange and the religious retreat at Our Lady of the Rockies Camp. Evidence of the area's extraction history persists with the Augusta Mine near Gooseberry Gulch, while recreational and municipal spaces like Meyer Ranch Park and Cub Creek Park occupy the drainages of North Turkey Creek and South Turkey Creek.
