The dramatic transition from the High Plains to the Front Range is captured here as the urban edge of south Boulder meets the steep slopes of The Flatirons. This mid-century survey documents a period of scientific and institutional expansion, featuring the National Center for Atmospheric Research and the National Bureau of Standards on the city's outskirts. To the south, the resort character of Eldorado Springs is set against the industrial presence of the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad, which winds through the mountains near Plainview.
