1961 Map of Glenwood Springs

About this map

Glenwood Springs serves as the focal point of this 1960s landscape, positioned at the confluence where the Roaring Fork River joins the Colorado River. The mapping reveals a community defined by its transport and industrial corridors, with the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad tracks following the water's edge through the dramatic corridor of Glenwood Canyon. To the south, the industrial history of the region is evident at Cardiff, where Coke Ovens and Quarries indicate the mining and processing activities that once fueled the local economy.
