1960 Map of Denver
USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
Denver and its neighboring suburbs anchor the center of this mid-century landscape, showing the city's relationship to the towering Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. The map illustrates a period of significant military and educational footprint, from the Colorado School of Mines in Golden and the University of Colorado in Boulder to the sprawling Lowry Bombing and Gunnery Range and Rocky Mountain Arsenal. The contrast between the urban grid and the high-altitude wilderness is sharp, as the South Platte River and Cherry Creek flow from the peaks toward the developing plains.
