1961 Map of Glenwood Springs

About this map

Glenwood Springs sits at the confluence where the Colorado River meets the Roaring Fork River, serving as a vital transportation and infrastructure hub in the early 1960s. The landscape is defined by the steep walls of Glenwood Canyon and the surrounding heights of the White River National Forest, including Lookout Mountain and Windy Point. The town's mid-century footprint is well-documented, showing civic essentials like the Valley View Hospital and the local HS, alongside recreational sites such as the Glenwood Springs Golf Course and a Drive-in Theater.
