Colorado Maps (artificial) – Guide & List – 1

COLORADO HISTORICAL MAP COLLECTION – 2.0 LINEAR FEET

ABSTRACT

The maps included in this collection focus around the state of Colorado, state parks, national forests, and the Eagle Valley area. In general, the maps were mass produced by the Colorado Department of Tourism, Colorado Department of Transportation (once known as the Colorado Department of Highways), Union Pacific Railroad, and various county and town chamber of commerce and tourism boards. All were freely distributed and/or for sale for the public. Through historical maps, users can see the changes, upgrades, and design of highways, byways, and major road developments throughout the state of Colorado and the United States. These maps date from the early 1950s to 2000s.

COLLECTION NOTES: This is an artificial collection, meaning it is comprised of items from various sources, people, places, and dates and was not acquired as a set or collection. Materials are added to this collection on an ongoing basis, meaning new items may be added periodically.
