About this map

Evergreen Lake anchors the southern landscape of this region, where the community of Evergreen serves as a gateway to the mountainous terrain west of Denver. The settlement pattern follows the drainages and canyons, with residential growth expanding into Hiwan Hills and Indian Hills by the mid-1960s. The map illustrates a transition from established mountain retreats like Troutdale and the Mt Vernon Club Place to more modern developments such as Paradise Hills and Cody Park.

Educational and social infrastructure is well-defined, featuring the Bergen Sch and Evergreen Jr High Sch, alongside recreational sites like the Mountain Parks Golf Course and Genesee Park. Local history is captured in the placement of the Rockland Cem and several scouting retreats, including a Girl Scout Camp and Gedesee Camp. The presence of small-scale Strip Mines and a Gravel Pit indicates the ongoing extraction of local resources amidst the expanding residential and parkland boundaries.
