1965 Map of Evergreen

About this map

Evergreen and the surrounding Front Range foothills are shown here during a period of mid-century residential growth and mountain recreation. The landscape is defined by its series of deep gulches and canyons, such as Mount Vernon Canyon, which historically served as a vital gateway between the plains and the high country. At the center of the local community, Evergreen Lake sits near Dedisse Park, while smaller settlements like Kittredge and Troutdale follow the path of Bear Creek. The map documents a mix of established sites and newer developments, from the quiet grounds of Rockland Cem to the gathering spaces at Mt Vernon Club Place and Genesee Camp. High points like Genesee Mountain and Bald Mountain overlook a network of parklands, including Wah Keeney Park and O'Fallon Park, reflecting the area's transition into a regional recreational hub.
