About this map

Denver and its western suburbs undergo rapid post-war expansion in this mid-1960s survey, showing the intensification of residential and commercial development between the city center and the foothills. Significant land use is dedicated to federal and institutional footprints, most notably the massive Denver Federal Center and the Federal Correctional Institute near Harriman Lake. The landscape is also defined by a complex network of water management, with numerous reservoirs such as Marston Lake, Kendrick Reservoir, and Smith Res serving the growing population.

Suburban growth is evident in the dense street grids of Lakewood and Edgewater, alongside established recreational landmarks like the Lakewood Country Club. The purple revisions from 1971 highlight the continued outward push of the urban area. Cultural and civic life is anchored by numerous parochial schools and churches, including Our Lady of Fatima Sch and St Bernadette Sch, while the Fort Logan National Cemetery remains a prominent feature in the south, preserving a connection to the area's military heritage.
