About this map

Denver and its southeastern neighbors appear here during a period of massive suburban expansion, with purple revisions highlighting the rapid growth of Englewood and Cherry Hills Village. The urban landscape is defined by its extensive healthcare and educational institutions, from the University of Denver and Iliff Sch of Theology to a dense network of hospitals including Childrens Hospital and Porter Memorial Hospital. The civic core around the State Capitol and US Mint transitions into residential blocks anchored by Washington Park and Cheesman Park.

Transportation hubs dominate the periphery, with Lowry Air Force Base showing runways that were already abandoned and closed to air traffic by this time, while Stapleton International Airport remains active to the northeast. Along the South Platte River and the Valley Highway, the transition from heavy industry to recreation is visible at Overland Park Municipal Golf Course and the sprawling grounds of Fairmount Cemetery near Windsor Lake.
