1965 Map of Fitzsimons

About this map

The sprawling campus of the Fitzsimons Army Medical Center dominates the northern landscape of this mid-1960s study, representing a significant military presence in the growing suburbs of Aurora. This era marks a period of rapid residential expansion, evidenced by a dense concentration of local schools like Crawford Sch, Vaughn Sch, and Columbia Middle Sch amidst expanding subdivisions. The eastern and southern reaches of the map retain a more open character, punctuated by the Buckley Air National Guard Base and the expansive waters of Cherry Creek Lake.
