The South Platte River corridor transitions from suburban development to a major public engineering project in this mid-1960s perspective. Most prominent is the massive area of Under Construction surrounding the emerging Chatfield Lake and the Chatfield State Recreation Area. The purple revision tints from 1969 reveal the rapid expansion of housing tracts into former agricultural lands, particularly around Columbine Valley and Columbine Hills.
