1938 Map of Derby

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The South Platte River corridor north of Denver serves as a massive industrial and transportation hub in this late 1930s survey. Heavily urbanized districts like Globeville, Argo, and Utah Junction are defined by a complex grid of rail lines, including the Union Pacific and the Colorado and Southern. The presence of the massive Stockyards and a prominent Slag Dump along the river highlights the area's role in the region's agricultural and mineral processing economy.
