1965 Map of Highlands Ranch

About this map

The northern edge of Highlands Ranch appears here in a transitional mid-1960s state, where expanding suburban development meets established agricultural holdings. While the northern portion of the map shows the densifying neighborhoods of Littleton and Greenwood Village, the southern half is dominated by large pastoral tracts such as McArthur Ranch and Cheesman Ranch. This period of growth is anchored by new community infrastructure, including the Southglenn Shopping Ctr and a high density of educational facilities like Arapahoe High Sch and Southglenn Jr High Sch.
