1965 Map of Fitzsimons

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Aurora is captured here during a period of significant mid-century expansion, dominated by large federal institutions and military installations. The sprawling Fitzsimons General Hospital and Lowry Air Force Base anchor the northern and western margins, while the Buckley Air National Guard Base occupies a massive footprint to the east. These government centers drove the rapid subdivision of former ranch lands, evident in the dense network of schools like Hinkley High Sch and Virginia Court Sch appearing alongside suburban amenities such as the Drive-in Theater.
