1965 Map of Fort Logan

About this map

The western suburbs of Denver display a rapidly maturing postwar landscape on this map, which tracks the expansion of Lakewood and Edgewater during the mid-1960s. The massive Denver Federal Center occupies a significant tract in the west, while the eastern edge follows the Platte River corridor through Sheridan and Englewood. The region is defined by a dense network of educational and institutional landmarks, ranging from the hilltop campus of Loretto Heights College to the sprawling Federal Correctional Institute near Henry Lake. Water management is central to the area's development, evidenced by the large Marston Lake and a series of smaller impoundments like Kendrick Reservoir and Sloans Lake. Local recreation and community life are anchored by the Lakewood Country Club and numerous parochial schools including St Anthony of Padua Sch and St Bernadette Sch.
