1944 Map of Lafayette
USGS Topo · Published 1944About this map
Lafayette serves as the primary hub of this 1930s-surveyed landscape, characterized by a complex network of reservoirs and coal mining operations before the rapid suburbanization of the Front Range. The map details an era when small, specialized industrial sites like the Power Plant near Lafayette Res and the Mushroom Plant near Savery Ponds anchored the local economy alongside numerous mines. These include the Centennial Mine, Highway Mine, and Monarch Mine, which mark the underground activity that shaped the development of Coalton and early Broomfield.
