1965 Map of Conifer

About this map

Evergreen Mountain and Legault Mountain dominate this mid-century landscape where mountain topography meets growing residential subdivisions. The map illustrates a transitional period in Jefferson County, where long-established mountain ranching and mining legacies like the Augusta Mine and Meyer Ranch Park exist alongside newer developments such as Broken Arrow Acres and Green Valley Acres. Local educational history is well-preserved through labels for the Wilmot Sch, Marshdale Sch, and West Jefferson Middle Sch, reflecting the community's expansion. Significant recreational and memorial spaces are noted, including the Evergreen Memorial Park (Cem) and the expansive Arapaho National Forest. The drainage patterns of North Turkey Creek and South Turkey Creek provide the primary corridors for settlement and transportation through the foothills.
