USGS Topo · Published 1940About this map
The industrial and agricultural fringes of north Denver are captured here just before the massive post-war expansion. The landscape is defined by the South Platte River and its intricate network of irrigation channels like the Fulton Ditch and O'Brien Ditch, which supported the truck farms surrounding Welby and Adams City. Near the river, the Stockyards and Sewage Disposal works signify the area's heavy utility role, while the massive Denver City and Co Airport and the neighboring Municipal Airport dominate the eastern plains.
