1965 Map of Englewood

About this map

Lowry Air Force Base dominates the eastern quadrant of this Denver-area study, providing a clear view of the city's suburban and institutional expansion in the mid-1960s. The urban core to the northwest is anchored by the State Capitol, the US Mint, and the Civic Center, surrounded by a dense network of hospitals including Presbyterian Medical Center and Veterans Hospital. As the landscape moves south through Glendale toward Englewood, the concentration of residential schools and parochial institutions like St Thomas Seminary and Colorado General Hospital illustrates the region's mid-century growth patterns.
