1965 Map of Littleton

About this map

The South Platte River corridor south of Denver undergoes significant transformation in this mid-century survey, most notably with the establishment of the Chatfield Lake reservoir and its surrounding State Recreation Area. This project dramatically altered the landscape near the Jefferson and Douglas County line, where the river's path is constrained by the rising Hogback to the west. To the north, the suburban expansion of Littleton is in full view, featuring landmarks like the Centennial Racetrack and the Woodlawn Shopping Center.
