About this map

Boulder expands northward in this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape transitioning from rural agriculture to specialized infrastructure and suburban growth. The northeast is anchored by Niwot, where the Niwot Cemetery and Niwot School serve the local community. To the northwest, the prominent Table Mountain is utilized for technical purposes, labeled as the Table Mountain Antenna Field Sites. Water management is central to the area's development, evidenced by the large Boulder Reservoir and its associated gaging stations.

Transportation and energy infrastructure are well-established, with the Union Pacific and Southern and Colorado and Pacific railroads cutting through the terrain. Notable local landmarks like Valmont Butte and the adjacent Valmont Reservoir sit near the Boulder Municipal Airport, while educational institutions such as Fairview High School and Viestenz Technical School indicate the densifying population center. Local history is further preserved at the Valmont Cemetery, situated near the industrial activity of the power plant and gravel pits.
