1957 Map of Eastlake

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Water management and transportation define this mid-century landscape in Adams County, where the South Platte River and its accompanying irrigation infrastructure support agricultural development. A complex network of reservoirs, including the Wadley Res No 1, Eastlake Res No 3, and Smith Reservoir, illustrates the intensive engineering required for farming in the semi-arid region. The settlement of Eastlake serves as a local hub along the Union Pacific railroad, while modern infrastructure like the Valley Highway and the Denver-Boulder Turnpike signals the suburban growth of the late 1950s. Genealogists and local historians can locate early burial grounds such as Wesley Cem and Highland Memory Gardens, as well as rural school sites like Brantner Sch and Riverdale Sch that anchored these farming communities before further expansion.
