About this map

Thornton and Northglenn emerge as growing suburban hubs on this 1965 survey, documenting a landscape in transition from agricultural water storage to residential development. The territory is defined by a dense network of reservoirs, including the three Eastlake Res basins and several Wadley Res sites, which historically served the farming plains of Adams County.

Along the South Platte River, the settlement of Hazeltine sits near industrial Gravel Pits, while to the west, established community markers like Wesley Chapel and Evergreen Memorial Gardens anchor the local history. This edition is particularly valuable for genealogists and local historians, as it records the placement of numerous schools like Willis A Turell Sch and Hunters Glen Sch during a period of rapid institutional expansion. The map also captures the earlier footprints of areas like Todd and Hi-Land Acres before subsequent decades of urbanization fully integrated them into the metropolitan corridor.
