About this map

The mountain community of Evergreen serves as the focal point of this Jefferson County survey, which documents the expansion of residential and recreational enclaves into the foothills in the early 1970s. The landscape is defined by the convergence of Bear Creek and Wilmot Cr at Evergreen Lake, where the Hiwan Country Club and Mountain Parks Golf Course signal the area's growth as a suburban retreat. The map tracks the winding course of the Genesee Park Boundary and various mountain parks like O'Fallon Park and Dedisse Park.

Significant local landmarks such as Rockland Cem and Evergreen Cem provide valuable data for genealogists, while the presence of Strip Mines and a Gravel Pit indicates the continuing extractive activity alongside growing neighborhoods like Hiwan Hills and Paradise Hills. Transportation routes like Stapleton Drive and the Beaver Brook Trail weave through the complex terrain between Genesee Mountain and Elephant Butte.
