Antique Denver, Colorado 1947 US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Derby, Irondale, Dupont, Welby, South Platte River, Adams County, CO

Beautiful, antique map of Denver and Derby, Colorado and surrounding Adams County area before the Platte River was dammed. This is an authentic 1947 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and not a computer reprint.

See what Colorado looked like over 75 years ago. Lots of intricate details and geological contours. Map even has little squares for every house that existed. The USGS cartographers were very thorough back then! On the back is a description of topographic symbols and map guide.

Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful and rare. Vintage maps such as these make great gifts.
