1965 Map of Louisville

About this map

Davidson Mesa dominates the central landscape of this 1965 survey, bridging the gap between the expanding residential fringes of Boulder and the coal-mining heritage of Louisville. To the south, the massive Rocky Flats Environmental Technology Site occupies a significant portion of the high plains, situated between Woman Creek and Walnut Creek. This industrial presence contrasts sharply with the nearby Marshall Lake and the agricultural legacy represented by the complex network of the Community Ditch and Goodhue Ditch. The map details a period of suburban transition, showing established schools like Fairview High Sch alongside older landmarks such as Sacred Heart Ch. The industrial footprint of the region is evident through numerous Gravel Pits and Claypits scattered across Rocky Flats, marking the area's geological utility during the mid-20th century.
