USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
The South Platte River corridor anchors this 1953 survey, revised in 1988 to reflect the burgeoning suburbs of Denver and its satellite cities. The metropolitan expanse is captured at a critical period of growth, showing the maturation of Aurora, Lakewood, and Arvada alongside established institutions like the Colorado School of Mines in Golden and Regis College. Military and industrial footprints are prominent, from the Lowry Air Force Base and Buckley Air National Guard Base to the Rocky Mountain Arsenal.
