1958 Map of Denver
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
The South Platte River corridor anchors this mid-century look at the Colorado state capital and its surrounding mountain frontier. The golden core of Denver is shown at a period of significant post-war expansion, with the suburban footprints of Aurora, Englewood, and Arvada clearly defined against the western ascent into the Front Range. Notable military and institutional presence is evident through Lowry Air Force Base, the Rocky Mountain Arsenal, and the Colorado School of Mines in Golden. To the west, the map transitions into the high peaks of the Arapaho National Forest, reaching the continental divide at landmarks like Grays Peak and Torreys Peak. This document captures the regional infrastructure before the full completion of the interstate system, highlighting the established routes of the Union Pacific RR and Denver & Rio Grande Western RR that once dominated commerce through the canyons.
