About this map

Evergreen and its neighboring mountain communities are situated at a time of significant transition on this Colorado Front Range survey. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of Bear Creek and its tributaries, with the village of Kittredge and the resort-like atmosphere of Troutdale flanking the centerpiece of Evergreen Lake. Higher up the terrain, the map documents the growth of residential clusters and recreational sites such as El Rancho, Cody Park, and the Mt Vernon Club Place.

Public land and civic life are prominent, shown through the extensive boundaries of Genesee Mountain Park and O'Fallon Park. Local history is anchored by the Rockland Cem, the Bergen Sch, and the Evergreen Jr High Sch. The landscape is a network of gulches and peaks, including Genesee Mountain, Bald Mountain, and Elephant Butte, all connected by a maturing road system that includes Stapleton Drive and the emerging interstate corridor.
