About this map

Evergreen and its neighboring foothill communities are captured in this mid-1960s survey, showing the early residential expansion into the canyon country west of Denver. The settlement pattern follows the drainages and ridges, with established hubs like Bergen Park, Kittredge, and the planned enclave of Mt Vernon Club Place. Evidence of the area's transition from rural ranching and mining to a mountain residential corridor is visible through features like the Rockland Cem and several school sites, including Bergen Sch and Evergreen Jr High Sch.

Recreational development is prominent, anchored by Evergreen Lake and the Mountain Parks Golf Course. The landscape is a network of named gulches and mountain parks, from Genesee Park in the north to O'Fallon Park along Bear Creek. While largely residential and recreational by this date, industrial remnants like the Strip Mines near Lininger Mtn and a Gravel Pit near Troublesome Creek persist among the evolving subdivisions.
