1965 Map of Eastlake

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Water management and agricultural development characterize this Colorado landscape, where an extensive network of ditches and reservoirs like Wadley Res No 3 and Signal Res No 1 sustain the arid high plains. The transition from rural farming to suburban expansion is evident in the growth of Thornton and Northglenn, with new residential tracts appearing alongside established landmarks like the Riverdale Grange Hall. The South Platte River cuts through the southeastern corner, serving as a corridor for the Union Pacific railroad and industrial operations at Hazeltine Siding. Local community life is documented through the presence of institutions such as North Huron Jr High Sch and the Wesley Chapel Cem, providing essential markers for genealogical research in Adams County. This edition includes purple photorevision layers that visualize the rapid suburban sprawl reaching toward Hi-Land Acres and Quimby.
