About this map

Cherry Hills Village and Greenwood Village anchor the southern reach of this mid-1960s study, showcasing a rapidly maturing metropolitan landscape. The transition from the urban core of Denver to suburban developments is traced through a dense network of educational and medical institutions, including the University of Denver and the Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Military operations are centered at Lowry Air Force Base in the northeast, while the western edge is defined by the industrial and residential corridors of Englewood.

Transport and recreation are intertwined along the path of Cherry Creek, which flows past the Botanic Gardens and Denver Zoo before heading toward the nascent Cherry Creek State Park. Notable local landmarks such as the State Capitol and Currigan Exhibition Hall highlight the city's civic heart. The presence of the Denver and Rio Grande Western RR alongside numerous country clubs and golf courses reflects the diverse economic and social infrastructure of the mid-century Front Range.
