About this map

Evergreen sits at the heart of this mid-1960s survey, showing a landscape defined by the expansion of mountain residential clubs and recreational parks. The map traces the early development of communities like Hiwan Hills and Indian Hills, along with established landmarks such as the Mt Vernon Club Place. In the northern section, Clear Creek Canyon forms a deep natural boundary, while the central terrain is marked by prominent peaks including Genesee Mountain and Bald Mountain.

Regional planning is evident in the inclusion of various mountain park sites, such as Genesee Park and Dedisse Park near Evergreen Lake. The transportation network is anchored by U.S. 40 and Colo 74, connecting smaller settlements like Kittredge and El Rancho. For those studying the growth of the Colorado Front Range, the map provides precise locations for local institutions like the Girl Scout Camp and the Hiwan Country Club.
