1965 Map of Eastlake

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Agricultural water management and emerging suburban growth define this section of Adams County as mapped in the mid-1960s and updated via 1971 aerial photography. The landscape is dominated by an intricate network of irrigation systems, including the German Reservoir No 1, Wadley Res No 3, and Eastlake Res No 1, which supported the region's farming before the rapid expansion of residential corridors. The Union Pacific line anchors the small community of Eastlake, while the southern portion of the sheet shows the expanding grids of Northglenn and Thornton. This era marks a distinct shift in land use, as former homesteads and open fields give way to schools like the Malley Drive Sch and civic landmarks such as Highland Memory Gardens. Along the eastern edge, the South Platte River and the small settlement of Hazeltine provide a glimpse into the area's older river-oriented development.
