1965 Map of Englewood

About this map

Lowry Air Force Base dominates the eastern landscape of this mid-century survey, with its runways marked as abandoned and closed to air traffic at the time of the 1971 photorevision. To the west, the South Platte River and the Valley Highway corridor define the industrial and transit backbone of Denver, while the High Line Canal snakes through the southern suburbs near Cherry Hills Village. The map illustrates the rapid post-war expansion of the Denver metropolitan area, documented by numerous purple-tinted urban extensions around Sullivan and Glendale.
