About this map

The U S Military Reservation (Fitzsimons) and the Fitzsimons General Hospital anchor the southern edge of this 1948 survey, representing a significant military presence on the outskirts of Denver. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation and water management features, including the winding Highline Canal, the O'Brien Ditch, and several Highline Lateral branches that feed into the plains. These waterways supported the surrounding agricultural development of Adams County before the rapid suburban expansion of the late 20th century.
